For New Yorkers, life never stops, but occasionally you seek downtime or relaxation amid the chaos you love. Some people, however, fully inhabit their stress, not because of the work they do or the obligations they have, but because of their constant worry about how they look. Specifically, they worry about how their teeth look. You can find calm within the noise with a customized smile makeover.
The oldest millennials are just shy of 40 years old. With age does not always come wisdom, however. According to a recent study of 2,000 Americans, 3 in 10 millennials only brush their teeth once a day. The average millennial surveyed sometimes goes more than two days without brushing at least once. Gross? Absolutely. Dangerous? Without a doubt. If these trends continue, serious smile makeovers and even full-mouth reconstruction are in millennials’ futures.
You feel like your teeth are falling apart. Your old fillings are cracking, gums are receding, stains are everywhere, and your mouth just hurts. You’re embarrassed by how your teeth look and sometimes worry about what could happen when you’re biting, chewing, or speaking. When your smile is deteriorating, it’s time to find out how restorative dentistry can help.
For people who are on Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off Broadway, or making their bones in community theatre, stage work implies an authentic, in-the-moment performance. It does not mean, however, that these talents are at liberty to ignore the appearance of their teeth. The players in Tony-worthy plays and musicals still pose for photos, do press, and, if they’re lucky, get up on stage in front of a national audience to smile and accept a major award. If you act, is your smile ready for your big show?
