National Kissing Day

It’s National Kissing Day! Pucker up for that special someone this week.

Enhance Your Smile (and Your Kiss) with Kordel House Dental Practice.

National Kissing Day

National Kissing Day falls on 23rdof June 2018 to encourage everyone to appreciate a kiss and to spread a little love. There is nothing worse than leaning in and puckering up only to be repelled by a nasty smell.

Kissing can be an enjoyable experience. According to a YouGov survey, over 80 percent of UK adults admitted that they would be put off dating someone with bad breath. Bad Breath is also known as Halitosis which is a Latin word and is used to describe any disagreeable bad or unpleasant odour emanating from mouth.

Did you know that the longest kiss lasted 58 hrs,38 minutes and 58 seconds!!!

Fending Off Bad Breath

1.Oral Hygiene

Millions of bacteria live in the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue. The mouth’s warm, moist conditions are ideal for the growth of these bacteria and they release unpleasant gases, if you do not remove plaque. Here at Kordel House Dental Practice, we encourage our patients to attend their biannual check-ups in addition to practicing the excellent brushing and flossing habits we enforce here. We recommend that you brush your teeth twice a day for 2 minutes with a fluoride containing toothpaste and clean between your teeth at least once a day by using interdental cleaner such as floss to remove plaque and food particles. Drink plenty of water and use sugar free chewing gum to increase your salivary flow and thus keeping your breath fresh.

We make it our business to educate our patients about the ways they can keep their smile bright, shiny, and healthy. Schedule a routine cleaning appointment and increase your kissability.During the cleaning we remove plaque,tartar and polish the tooth surface

2.Things to avoid

Avoid foods with strong smell which include onions, garlic and spices. Avoid drinks such as alcohol.

Avoid low carbohydrate diets due to production of chemicals like ketones that can cause bad breath.

Avoid smoking. The odour stays on your breath, hair and clothes for a long time. Smoking also increases the risk of gum disease, which is another cause of bad breath.

 

Nothing makes the lips stand out more than a pearly white smile. Sparkling white teeth are the perfect complement to kissable lips.

At Kordel House Dental Practice in Horncastle (Lincolnshire)we offer Teeth Whitening which can make your teeth whiter in less than a week. We also offer Dermal Fillers which can restore the volume and fullness of your lips which will make your lips look fuller and increase you kissability.

Call today at Kordel House Dental Practice in Horncastle (Lincolnshire) at 01507211833 to book your consultation for Tooth Whitening or Dermal Fillers or any other dental procedure you might need.
