Dentists Top Tips for a Youthful Smile
UltraDEX have teamed up with leading dentists to help your smile look younger whilst protecting your teeth.
Here are some of the issues you never knew revealed your age (and how to prevent them):
1. Tooth enamel can erode over time and lead to sensitivity. That glass of orange juice, wine or gin and tonic may well be the culprit of your enamel erosion. Acidic food and drink, including wine, tonic water, fruit juices and sports drinks can soften the enamel of your teeth.

To avoid wearing down your tooth enamel, drink through a straw and wait an hour after consuming acidic food or drink before brushing your teeth. The UltraDEX Recalcifying and Whitening Toothpaste and Oral Rinse protect teeth and gums by eliminating bacteria and plaque and by creating a protective enamel shield.
2. Chipped or cracked teeth are a sure giveaway of a life well lived.
Top tip
To avoid flaws/cracks on the surface of your teeth avoid chewing ice or any very hard foods. You should also steer clear of eating or drinking very hot and very cold foods at the same time. If your teeth are already showing signs of wear and tear, visit your dentist and follow a good oral hygiene routine. Developed for sensitive teeth, the UltraDEX Recalcifying and Whitening range helps to rebuild tooth surfaces and fill in the microscopic enamel cracks to leave teeth stronger, smoother and brighter.
3. Another more obvious assault on teeth is staining. Some of the worst perpetrators for stained teeth are coffee, tea, wine, berries, fruit juice, cola, soy sauce and curry.
Top tip
After consuming beverages that stain teeth, it is advised to have a drink of water. Follow a good oral hygiene routine, using the UltraDEX Recalcifying and Whitening range, which not only lifts organic stains, but also eliminates dental plaque and creates a strong enamel shield. Another trick to keep those pearly teeth sparkling white is to consume high-risk drinks through a straw.
4. As you get older, through inadequate brushing and flossing, hormonal changes and grinding, your gums may recede and become inflamed.

The best way to prevent gum recession is to take good care of your mouth. Avoid vigorously scrubbing your teeth back and forth. Brush in a gentle circular motion at a 45° angle twice a day, floss and rinse with an alcohol-free mouthwash. UltraDEX is free from SLS and alcohol and offers a highly effective anti-bacterial action to help prevent gum problems.
5. Nothing's worse than a gaping hole in your smile for adding years to your appearance.
Top tip
The best way to avoid a toothless smile, gum problems and tooth decay is to visit the dentist regularly and maintain a comprehensive oral hygiene routine.
Leading dentist Mervyn Druian says: "A good dental regime and using the right products, is key to age protect your mouth, and keep your smile looking young and healthy."
Keep looking youthful - and be smile with confidence!
