Summer is a time of travelling and taking fun vacations with the family or just going solo.  Packing is the not so fun part but taking along ready to go kits like the GOSmile GOTravel Kit will keep your mouth clean and fresh and make packing alot easier.  The kit contains a lemonade smile toothpaste, travel size toothbrush, mouthwash rinse and 6 easy to use teeth whitening ampoules.  Also included is a compact mirror so you can view your pearly whites. Comes in a stylish vinyl zip bag.

Aesthetics doesn’t just refer to skincare but can also include mouth care.   In the last post I mentioned the Mouth Facial created by Dr. Gerry Curatola.  A great new treatment to keep our gums, mouth and teeth feeling fresh and sparkling clean. 

Now, let’s go a step further and check out Dr. Joseph Zelig, a NYC board certified periodontist who has just introduced a form of periodontal surgery called the Gum Lift at his practice “The Smile in the City Dental Group”. Face it, if your gums aren’t healthy first why spend money on fixing or whitening your teeth? 

Dr. Zelig refers to the gums as the “frame of a perfect picture”.  A smile is usually one of the first things a person notices about someone.  We flash our teeth and gums daily so why shouldn’t we give extra attention to caring for them? Not only can the Gum Lift restore gums infected by gingivitis but with a laser can also fix uneven gums or use of soft tissue grafts to build up receding gums.

Also something a friend of mine just mentioned to me last night, for anyone with toothaches, gingivitis and gum disease… try applying a little oregeno oil that is know for it’s antiseptic healing properties to the area for fast relief.  For long term results visit Dr. Zelig for the Gum Lift.

There is just such a thing and it was created by Dr. Gerry Curatola, founder of the Rejuvenation Mouth Facial in NYC.  Healthy teeth and gums means a healthy body and since alot of our health issues can occur from problems with our teeth and gums it’s important to take care of them with regular dental visits and now even a facial. 

The mouth facial is similar to that of an actual facial where you’ll receive a relaxing face massage prior to starting the treatment, this will also include the use of aromatherapy candles to give the feeling of being at a spa.  Next there is a mouth cleansing and removal of any plaque or calcium deposits.  Lastly an antioxidant rich gum mask is applied.   What you’re left feeling with is spa fresh teeth!

Well, Christmas has come and gone again and I hope that Santa was good to everyone.  I received more gifts then I know what to do with this year and so did my son.  I may need to move into a bigger place just to accommodate all his stuff!  I found myself buying friends and family alot of what I would use for myself and one of my most favorite giving gifts this year was toothpaste.  But not just any toothpaste… that would be too boring.  It had to of course be from goSMILE who has the most delicious tasting toothpaste available.  Who doesn’t love the scents of aromatherapy and when combined in toothpaste who wouldn’t want to kiss you!  The 5 Senses Toothpaste Kit contains yummy flavors like mango paradise, aloha tropical, lemonade, ginger cookie and peppermint candy.  You can still savor the scents of Christmas long after they are gone.  Another favorite gift i gave this year from goSmile was the flip, pop and apply directly on the tooth whitener.  So easy, no mess and extremely effective.  Loved it so much i bought myself one!  Your teeth can never be too white:)

Here’s a new breakthrough technology that alot of us can benefit from… an innovative power toothbrush that removes up to 97% of plaque on our teeth.  The Ultreo power toothbrush uses ultrasound waveguide technology with sonic bristle action to effectively remove plaque and leave your mouth feeling incredibily clean and fresh.

Ultreo has been proven to remove hard-to-reach plaque on teeth, improve overall gum health and reduce stains for whiter teeth. Cost is about $170 and can be purchased at ultreo.com or drugstore.com. 

Whiter teeth is alot easier to achieve now with Crest Whitestrips Daily Multicare. Only 5 minutes a day is all you need for a brighter and whiter more beautiful smile.  Since the daily whitestrips contain less peroxide then the original, the whitening process is more gradual but just as effective in the removal of stains and enamel protection.

If you love to smile then you need to stock up on these. Supersmile Professional Whitening Gum  with Calprox® keeps breath fresh, removes surface stains and promotes healthier gums.  Supersmile is sweetened with Xylitol®, the natural cavity inhibitor.

Anyone who is considering a face lift but also needs to have dental cosmetic surgery may want to hold off on the face lift surgery.  The Dental Face Lift® created by Dental Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Sam C. Muslin located in Santa Monica, CA helps to support the face, reduce wrinkles, and create fuller lips all just by focusing on fixing the teeth!  It’s like cosmetic surgery for your teeth but without the surgery.

As we age our teeth start to wear down from years and years of use and therefore causing a gradual aging to the face.  With Face Lift Dentistry® the face is almost lifted to create a more youthful look and lets not forget about the teeth - removing the old sliver fillings and filling in with new porcelain fillings and if there is any tooth decay or crown issues these can also be fixed with custom-made porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns. The end result pearly whites and years off your face!
