If you are unhappy with your smile, you might have been considering a smile makeover for a while. If that’s the case, maybe now’s the time to stop thinking about it and finally do it. And there’s no time like autumn, especially early autumn, to get your smile makeover. Here’s why now is a great time to get a smile makeover.
You’ll Be Spending More Time Up Close
With the fall, the temperature is already starting to drop. And while there are still plenty of outdoor activities to look forward to–apple-picking, pumpkin patches, hayrides, and the like–soon it will be time for us all to move indoors to shelter from the harshness of New York winters.
That means that pretty soon all your social interactions with friends and family will be up close. No more happy shouting across the cornhole court, pretty soon you’ll be talking over an end table, which gives people lots of time to look closely at your teeth. This is not a problem if you feel comfortable and confident in your smile, but if that thought makes you anxious, then maybe it’s time to get your smile makeover.
More Reunions with Friends and Family
One of the great things about the holiday season is getting to spend time with people who only come back home for the holidays. Whether your big get-togethers happen over Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Hanukkah, you know that you’ll be seeing some people you haven’t seen in a year or more.
This ought to be a joyous occasion, but if uncertainty about your smile is making you dread these reunions, then now is the time to take the initiative and get your smile fixed. That way, you can feel confident and happy when your friends and family arrive.
You’ll Be Wanting to Show Your Smile
Not only do you want to be happy when you reunite with people, you want to be able to show your happiness. And that means making a big smile. But if the appearance of your teeth makes you uncertain about showing your smile, it can put a damper on all the fun occasions of the season.
Don’t let an unattractive smile limit your joy this coming season: get a smile you’ll feel free to share without a second thought.
The Fall Can Be Hard on Teeth
A smile makeover isn’t just about the appearance of your smile. It can also have an impact on the health of your teeth. Many cosmetic complaints, such as discolored teeth, crooked teeth, unattractive deposits around teeth, receding gums and more, are also potential health problems. Problems like cavities, gum disease, and infected teeth might be dismissed as cosmetic issues unless you check with a dentist.
If neglected, these problems can get much worse over the course of the holidays. Rich, sweet foods, alcohol, frequent snacking, hurried schedules that interfere with hygiene, and more all contribute to a tendency for cavities and gum disease to worsen over the holidays. To help protect your oral health, it’s best to get these problems taken care of now, before they become too serious.
You’ve Put It Off Too Long Already
Let’s face it: your smile makeover will never happen unless you decide one day that you need to make it a priority. If you’re feeling the effects of an unattractive smile, and potentially facing the consequences of poor oral health, there’s no time like the present to make a change.
If you put your smile makeover off until tomorrow, then tomorrow it will be easier to put it off until the next day. And so on. It will always be the same as it has always been until you decide to make it different.
