I even got braces at age 44!   One of the most important things to do for your oral health is to take care of your teeth. When you have healthy teeth, it will make a difference in how confident you feel about yourself. Most people enjoy a good smile because it can put others at ease. If you want to know more about taking better care of your smile, then read on!

Go for a Dental Checkup
It is essential to do a dental checkup at least twice per year. You will need to go to the dentist for an oral exam, teeth cleaning and x-rays if needed. They can identify any problems developing with your teeth for correction before it becomes too late to fix them. 
It’s advisable that you have this done by a professional, especially if there might be cavities or other issues.
The dentist can also help you find out if there is an issue with jaw alignment or teeth positioning that might be causing problems. They may recommend treatments like clip on veneers, Invisalign and many more.  An excellent dental hygienist will do plenty of cleaning and scraping from every surface of the tooth surfaces and between each tooth where plaque likes to hide.

Have a Professional Clean Your Teeth
It's always a good idea to have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice per year. You can use the money you save by investing in this procedure as a way of taking care of your oral health. This way, bacteria and plaque buildup around those hard-to-reach places that brushing alone cannot handle will not get out of control.
A dental hygienist does an excellent job in teeth cleaning without damaging the rest of your teeth. If they notice anything out of place, such as inflamed gums or cavities, then they will mention them during the cleaning process, so you know what to do about them.

Teeth Whitening
There are plenty of ways to get your teeth whitened, and it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. The most popular method is using trays containing the hydrogen peroxide gel, which will work slowly over time as long as you wear them every day for at least thirty minutes. 
It's important not to brush too hard when doing this since some people might experience sensitivity. However, other methods are available if you prefer something different such as in-office treatments with professional care. I have linked some of my favorite teeth whitening products below - each under $30 - use the arrows to swipe right and left.
