Appearance and Celebrity
Appearance and ‘celebrity’..? We’re obsessed with it. You can’t pick up a magazine or turn on the TV without coming across the omnipresent make-over… cosmetic or otherwise.

And whilst some may be prepared to undergo treatment to correct imperfections of one sort or another, it’s far easier and less costly to adopt a proactive approach to dental hygiene in the formative years.

With Dencover’s great range of policies there’s every reason to expect that those early years will set the scene for a lifetime of great oral health.

And as we progress through adulthood, the importance of smiling simply can’t be underestimated….

“Smiling makes people like us…!”

According to well-known TV presenter and body-language expert Tracey Cox:

“Science has proved the more you smile, the more positive reactions others will give you – and the more genuine the smile, the more liked you’ll be. Genuine smiles are sparked unconsciously, which means they’re automatic.”

“Smile and world smiles with you…”

“Smiles are infectious – most people find it difficult not to smile back if smiled at for more than a few seconds.

Even faking happiness can make us feel happier. Evidence suggests that by simply making facial expressions, we can feel the emotion that usually accompanies them.

Form a smile with your facial muscles and the brain recognises the expression, thinks ‘I’m happy’, and obediently releases the hormones which usually go with it – making us feel happier even if the smile was fake.”

Tracey will be contributing regularly to this page, so make a diary note to visit us again soon……

a smile is incredibly powerful and intoxicating

11 Dental Health Tips. Dencover Insurance, Helpping You Maintain Healthy Pearly White Teeth.

As One Of The UK's Leading Online Dental Insurance companies We Care About Your Smile!

In the dental insurance industry everyone understands that individuals and families who develop good dental hygiene have the best chances of preventing tooth decay, infections, and gum disease from occurring. As a nation we can all work towards keeping insurance premiums lower and the easiest way is by sharing helpful tips and advice our young ones and our partners on just how to look after your teeth. Here are good habits to teach your child so they learn how to take care of their teeth and encourage good dental hygiene.

Brushing: Make sure you brush your teeth after each meal
Daily Dental Routine: Get into a routine of brushing and flossing your teeth daily. Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day. A good time to brush your teeth is in the morning and at night.
Flossing: Make sure to floss at least once a day.
Effective Tooth Brushes That Get Positive Results: The best type of toothbrush to use is a soft, rounded toothbrush that is not to big because you want to make sure that you brush all areas of your teeth and mouth.
Get Rid of the Old and Bring in the New: Remember to replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months.
Electronic Toothbrushes: You can use an electric toothbrush if you prefer. Research suggests that powered toothbrushes with a rotating brush that moves back-and-forth are better to use than other types of toothbrushes. As an insurance company, we would prefer everyone to be using the best toothbrush they can afford.
Use Fluoride: Always brush with toothpaste that contains fluoride. Toothpaste that contains tarter control is good toothpaste to purchase because tarter control toothpaste will help slow down any mineral buildup developing on your teeth.
Hold Your Tooth Brush The Right Way: When you brush try holding your toothbrush in a position that will not only brush your teeth, but brush the gums well too.
It is All In The Motion: While you brush your teeth, move the brush back and forth brushing your teeth in a circular motion. Brush softly not hard, because you can make hurt your gums and damage your tooth enamel.
Brush Your Entire Mouth Not Just Your Teeth: Brush all tongue and the surfaces of your cheek. May sure you brush your front and back teeth the best.
Cleaning Your Tongue Is Just As Important As Cleaning Your Teeth: Brush your tongue after you brush your teeth. Brushing your tongue helps remove plaque, which can cause your breath to smell bad and you, can also develop bacteria in your mouth if you do not brush your tongue along with your teeth.

By practicing these good dental hygiene techniques, you will maintain healthy teeth and a great smile.
