With all of these social networks and photo sharing sites, it’s great to have a perfect, camera-ready smile. A glowing smile can improve any photo or situation and make you look more attractive and approachable. So, here’s a little guide that will help you nail your best smile.

Avoid staining food and drinks

The first step to a great smile is the color of your teeth. Yellow and stained teeth never look attractive compared to a vibrant pearly white smile. So, try to avoid drinking too much coffee, red wine, and black tea. If you just can’t give them up, use a straw to avoid contact with teeth. Cigarette smoke can also stain your teeth (and cause a variety of different health issues), so consider ditching the habit.

Opt for teeth whitening

If your teeth are already stained, you can book a pro whitening treatment or try some over-the-counter products. Your dentist will remove as many stains as possible and give your teeth a good polish. Whitening strips and trays are also a popular option that can make your teeth whiter. If you’re a fan of natural remedies like Australians are, you can try combining baking soda and coconut oil for a homemade teeth whitening treatment.

Wear the right lipstick

You maybe didn’t know this, but your choice of lipstick can greatly affect the aesthetics of your smile. It can highlight your lips, make your teeth seem whiter and generally improve the way you look. However, not all shades will give you a teeth whitening treatment—shades with blueish undertones and a touch of glimmer should be your first choice.

Ask for professional help

Teeth are the most important part of a good smile, so make sure to have regular dental appointments. Your dentist can fix any holes in your smile and straighten imperfections. For instance, dental implants are the third most common dental procedure in Sydney, which means that many people have the same problem as you. However, if you choose an experienced dentist in Bondi Junction, they will provide you with a variety of dental implants and porcelain veneers. This will give you a million dollar smile without actually spending a million dollars on it!

Exfoliate your lips

Even though teeth are the star of every smile, there are other elements to it that are also important. Make your lips look healthy, plump and inviting with lip scrubs, especially if they are cracked and dry. After a good exfoliation, make sure to apply a hydrating and regenerating ointment. Lucas Papaw Ointment is a very effective and cheap choice that’s a favorite of most Australians.

It’s all in the eyes

If you want to pull off a smile that looks genuine, you have to engage your eyes. This little detail will make all the difference. So, try squinting a little to activate those muscles around the eyes. Another trick that involves the eyes is the raising of the eyebrows. It’s a sign of happiness and a true smile. Even your head position (a small tilt of the head) will improve the way your smile looks.

Practice makes perfect

And lastly, don’t be embarrassed to give your smile a few practices tries—after all, practice does make perfect. So, grab a mirror and try combining these smile elements: show your pearly whites, engage the eyes and position your head to a flattering angle. You might look silly while grinning into a mirror, but after some practice, it will come naturally to you.

Now that you know all the secrets to a great smile, don’t be scared to show it off. Post a few of your smiling photos on your Instagram profile and watch as the compliments start pouring in!
