Your smile is so often the first thing people see and as such speaks so much about who you are. You want to look after protect your smile to make sure it's looking it's best and whilst it's natural for your teeth to change over time with discolouration as well as wear and tear, there are certainly things you can do to maintain it at it's best. As we age, the outer part of the teeth wears thin which can cause the yellow dentin to become more exposed, and of course things you eat and drink, such as coffee, tea, berries, and red wine, can have an effect on the colour too.
We have put together a simple list of tips and professional dental treatments that can help you achieve the perfect white smile and maintain your bright white teeth:
 
Seek professional help
Professional teeth whitening is the safest and most effective way of getting the perfect white smile. While the stains might be mild, it's important to see your dentist before beginning any whitening process. Only your dentist will have the tools and techniques to give you a truly bright smile. They will start by examining your teeth condition and recommend the best treatment to achieve your perfect smile, including zoom teeth whitening. Any procedure they recommend will use high-quality whitening products that quickly break down large stains into smaller, less concentrated parts. This can help restore the white colour to your teeth and allow you to smile with confidence.
 
Brush and floss
Brushing and flossing are the basic oral home care. Brush two times a day with the right kind of toothpaste; in the morning and before going to sleep at night. Brushing twice a day helps get rid of plaque and keep enamel-eroding acids at bay. Floss after brushing to protect your teeth against acids and bacteria that can cause yellow teeth. Regular flossing can also help enhance your white smile and keep your gums healthy.
 
Eat a healthy diet
Healthy eating is essential for your overall well-being, including oral health. A balanced diet ensures your body gets the necessary vitamins and minerals for healthy white teeth.
Crispy fruits and vegetables such as carrots, celery, and apples help to clean your teeth and remove stains, while dairy products strengthen your teeth and prevent tooth enamel. Calcium-rich foods like cheese and almonds contain counter acids, which can help avoid tooth decay and the resulting discoloration.
 
Visit your dentist regularly
Dentist visits are essential to keep your teeth clean, healthy, and white year-round. Schedule an appointment with your dentist at least every six months. Visiting your dentist twice a year can help ensure that any oral problems, including age-related dental health issues, are identified as early as possible, which may save you pain in the future. Regular dentist visits also allow you to learn more about keeping your teeth strong and healthy. Your dentist will always advise you on the little things you can do to keep your teeth in the best condition.
 
The key to having confidence with your smile is to ensure your teeth stay healthy and white and commit to a healthy lifestyle and good dental hygiene. If left untreated for a long time, even the most minor oral issue can develop into more severe problems, affecting your teeth, smile quality, and overall health. Practice preventive measures to care for your teeth and follow these tips for a perfect smile.

When a true beauty classic celebrates half a century having already reached its pinnacle as the nation’s favourite, it’s hard to believe the formula can be much improved upon.  But the experts at Neutrogena® have done just that, delivering a masterstroke with new and improved Norwegian Formula® Concentrated Hand Creams, the little tubes of genius hand care that help repair, protect and start healing dry hands from the very first use. 

These dependable skincare staples, in their familiar tubes with red and blue lids, have been a permanent fixture in glove compartments, handbags, kitchen caddies, gardening toolboxes and on bathroom shelves around Ireland for decades.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Creams are now boosted by antioxidant vitamin E which in combination with a high percentage glycerine delivers a formulation not only offering effective relief from skin dryness but a hardworking one at that, helping to restore and protect the skin barrier, even in the harshest conditions.

The hero ingredient in the Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Creams is and always has been the moisture-magnet glycerine, regarded as one of the most effective humectants in skincare thanks to its ability to attract and hold several times its own weight in water.  Now with vitamin E and containing 40% glycerine, the combination of ingredients in the formula helps draw water onto the skin and form a protective layer to prevent the water evaporating over time, leaving hands noticeably softer and smoother.  Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Creams offer instant relief, with a formula that starts healing dry hands from the first use and helping to repair, protect and improve the skin barrier function. Just a dab of this concentrated formula works immediately, instantly relieving and protecting dry and chapped hands, providing hydration even through handwashing.  Backed by science, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Creams have been developed with dermatologists and are clinically proven, offering 24-hour moisture and lasting protection in just a drop.  With packaging now made from 50% recycled materials' and also fully recyclable, each 50ml tube offers at least 200 applications.

Whether you’re a crafter or creator, a gardener or a grafter, if you’re looking for a hard-working hand care solution, these little tubes should always be close to hand.  Neutrogena Norwegian Formula, backed by over 50 years of tried and trusted hand care, remains one of those reliable heritage brands that has stood the test of time.  Widely available, you’ll find them in Scented (blue lid) and Unscented (red lid) variants and across the shelves of supermarkets and pharmacies across the country too, retailing at €4.99 RRP each.

Dermatologist tested and fragrance-free, the formula intensely moisturises sensitive skin, replenishing and helping strengthen its moisture barrier during the night.

It is the perfect addition for a complete Calm + Restore night-time skincare routine.

Dermatologist, Dr. Cristina Psomadakis (aka ‘Dr Soma’) comments: “I am incredibly excited about this new launch and thrilled to be working with AVEENO again. Our evening skincare routine is such a crucial one to get right to enable our skin to repair and renew. Not only have AVEENO extended my favourite CALM + RESTORE face range, but it’s great to see a focus from the brand that intensely nourishes and strengthens the protective skin barrier while we sleep, to ensure morning skin dehydration is a thing of the past.”

The experts at Aveeno understand that when peoples’ skin feels good, they can't help but feel good. That is why its products are formulated with oats and or oat extracts to balance skin, going beyond the surface to leave a deeper impact on overall well-being. Through recognising the role healthy skin plays in achieving holistic well-being, people can feel more empowered and confident in the skin they’re in.

Aveeno Skincare & Education Expert, Rebecca Bennett adds: “The Calm + Restore Re-Hydrating Night Cream is a brilliant product. We have been developing it for some time and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with our loyal Aveeno customers and brand fans!

Mrs Hinch has shared an insight into her family trip with her husband, Jamie, and their sons, Ron and Lennie.

The family-of-four headed to the much-loved Centre Parcs and has opened up about how they got on for the few days they were away, and revealed what her son did to make her ‘so proud’.

Judging by the cleaning influencer’s photos and stories from the resort, we want to pack our bags and experience it for ourselves!

Taking to her Instagram Stories earlier today to answer fans’ questions about her trip, Mrs Hinch explained, “One of the things I love about Centre Parcs is that even if it’s raining you can head back into the plaza and book some fun messy play, craft or sensory classes for little ones”.

“Or play table tennis, do wall climbing or squash for the older ones. Also the swimming is open until late so we spent ALOT of time in there”

The 33-year-old admitted, “I definitely prefer Centre Parcs in the warmer months purely because I love to be outside and the indoor activities get booked up so quickly when it's raining so always book in advance if you can”.

Sophie then went on to share her favourite element of the resort, but revealed her three-year-old, Ron, was a bit frightened before he came around to the idea.

“I have to say the electric boat ride…The boys loved it. Ron had a little panic before we got on, but once I managed to settle him he realised it was ok… he absolutely loved it”.

She continued, “I was so proud of him for doing this and it made our whole family holiday doing this together”.

Posting more snaps to her 4.7M Instagram followers, the mum-of-penned, “Sorry for the radio silence over the last few days, I really needed to get up and just get away… with our family, anywhere with fresh air, wildlife and activities to keep my mind busy and my family smiling”.

Mrs Hinch added, “So we did exactly that. What an incredible amazing weekend spent together. Messy play, soft play, boat rides, zip lining, wall climbing, swimming and watching the wildlife. I feel so blessed to have my family by my side and so grateful that I get to do this for us".
