What your teeth tells others about your personality

It’s said that the first thing people notice about others are their shoes. Others say it’s the shirt. Either way, there are a bunch of things about you that contribute to others’ first impression when meeting you for the first time. And undoubtedly, one of the first noticed things about you that leaves the longest lasting impression are your teeth.

Our teeth are like badges, or identity cards that make a statement about our health, hygiene and even our social status. Most people believe strong, white teeth are a sure sign of success, prosperity and good health.
But did you know the shape of your teeth can also be an indicator of your type of personality?

Let’s look at different shapes of teeth and see what they might have to say about their owner’s personality.

Oval Teeth: These teeth shape is noticeably rounder around the edges and has less of a square shape to it. It’s said people with oval teeth are likely to be more artistic with a tendency to show off their artistic nature. It is also said that those in this category are shier than most which is why they use art to express themselves.

Square Teeth: The shape of square teeth is quite clear because of its angular form and defined edges. Because of the clear definition of square teeth’s shape, their owners tend to have very clearly defined personalities and are usually quite blunt when speaking. People with this type of teeth are also known to be disciplined and have an impressive amount of self-control.

Other qualities of square toothed people include that they make for good friends, and tend to be organised.

Rectangle Teeth: This type can be easily mistaken for a square toothed person, but if you look closely, you’ll notice it to be longer along the sides when compared to square teeth.

People with rectangular teeth tend to be the crowd favourite because of their practicality. They also tend to be result oriented, go getters who aren’t fans of quitting.

People with rectangular teeth are also very good smooth talkers, and are excellent at managing time and resources.

Triangle Teeth: When I say triangle teeth I don’t mean pointed and serrated like something out of the movie Jaws or Dracula. No, the triangle shape comes from the pattern of the gum over their teeth and the flat base of the teeth.

Owners of this type of teeth are more often than not very caring and sympathetic people. They are also very good at showing love and making others feel appreciated. Not only that, they are also fun loving, optimistic, and carefree people who like to take life easy.

Crooked Teeth: This is not to disparage anyone with crooked teeth or to make them feel bad, but it is true that most people either don’t trust a person with bad teeth, or just aren’t willing to listen to them or take them seriously.

Crooked teeth are the type that don’t fall under any of the previous descriptions because the teeth have refused to fall in line due to their crooked placement.

People with crooked teeth tend to be underdogs and shy but have a strong will and desire to prove themselves. Fortunately for them, the availability of orthodontics and cosmetic surgery have made it such that people with crooked teeth don’t have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

None of the above descriptions are born of an exact science, but the rectangular shape of my teeth seem to match my personality traits.

Teeth are covered in a hard, outer coating called enamel. Every day, a thin film of bacteria called dental plaque builds up on your teeth. The bacteria in plaque produce acids that can harm enamel and cause cavities. Brushing and flossing your teeth can prevent decay, but once a cavity forms, a dentist has to fix it.

Use fluoride toothpaste to protect your teeth from decay. If you are at a higher risk for tooth decay (for example, if you have a dry mouth because of a condition you have or medicines you take), you might need more fluoride. Your dentist or dental hygienist may give you a fluoride treatment during an office visit or may tell you to use a fluoride gel or mouth rinse at home.

Gum Disease
Gum disease begins when plaque builds up along and under your gum line. This plaque causes infections that hurt the gum and bone that hold your teeth in place. Gum disease may make your gums tender and more likely to bleed. This problem, called gingivitis, can often be fixed by brushing and flossing every day.

A more severe form of gum disease, called periodontitis, must be treated by a dentist. If not treated, this infection can ruin the bones, gums, and other tissues that support your teeth. Over time, your teeth may have to be removed.

To prevent gum disease:

Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Floss once a day.
Visit your dentist regularly for a checkup and cleaning.
Eat a well-balanced diet.
Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for gum disease.
How to Clean Your Teeth and Gums
There is a right way to brush and floss your teeth. Every day:

Gently brush your teeth on all sides with a soft-bristle brush and fluoride toothpaste.
Use small circular motions and short back-and-forth strokes.
Brush carefully and gently along your gum line.
Lightly brush your tongue to help keep your mouth clean.
Clean around your teeth with dental floss. Careful flossing removes plaque and leftover food that a toothbrush can't reach.
Rinse after you floss.
People with arthritis or other conditions that limit hand motion may find it hard to hold and use a toothbrush. Some helpful tips are:

Use an electric or battery-operated toothbrush.
Slide a bicycle grip or foam tube over the handle of the toothbrush.
Buy a toothbrush with a larger handle.
Attach the toothbrush handle to your hand with a wide elastic band.
See your dentist if brushing or flossing causes your gums to bleed or hurts your mouth. If you have trouble flossing, a floss holder may help. Ask your dentist to show you the right way to floss.

How To Brushes


What Is the Right Way to Brush?
Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that's right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel for the time involved, try using a stopwatch. To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration. Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:

Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth
Clean the chewing surfaces
For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too
brush1 brush2 brush3
Tilt the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline and sweep or roll the brush away from the gumline.

Gently brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using short back-and-forth strokes.

Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.

What Type of Toothbrush Should I Use?
Most dental professionals agree that a soft-bristled brush is best for removing plaque and debris from your teeth. Small-headed brushes are also preferable, since they can better reach all areas of the mouth, including hard-to-reach back teeth. For many, a powered toothbrush is a good alternative. It can do a better job of cleaning teeth, particularly for those who have difficulty brushing or who have limited manual dexterity. To find the right Colgate toothbrush for you, click here.
How Important is the Toothpaste I Use?
It is important that you use a toothpaste that's right for you. Today there is a wide variety of toothpaste designed for many conditions, including cavities, gingivitis, tartar, stained teeth and sensitivity. Ask your dentist or dental hygienist which toothpaste is right for you. To find the right Colgate toothpaste for you, click here.
How Often Should I Replace My Toothbrush?
You should replace your toothbrush when it begins to show wear, or every three months, whichever comes first. It is also very important to change toothbrushes after you've had a cold, since the bristles can collect germs that can lead to reinfection.

ADULT ORAL CARE
OVERVIEW
The key to keeping a bright, healthy smile throughout adulthood is to practice proper oral hygiene. Adults can get cavities, as well as gum disease that can lead to serious problems. Throughout your adult life, it's important to continue to:

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove dental plaque – the sticky film on your teeth that's the main cause of tooth decay and inflammation of the gums, called gingivitis.
Floss daily to remove plaque from between your teeth and under your gum line, before it can harden into tartar. Once tartar has formed, it can only be removed by a dental hygienist during a professional cleaning.
Limit sugary or starchy foods, especially sticky snacks. The more often you snack between meals, the more chances you give bacteria to create the acids that attack your tooth enamel.
Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups.

Taking good care of your teeth will help you live a long, healthy, pain-free life. In order to keep your teeth healthy, it is important to develop a good dental care routine early in life and maintain your teeth as you get older. You can do this by practicing good oral hygiene, eating a healthy diet, and supplementing these good habits with professional care when necessary.
Your teeth vary in shape and size depending on where they are in your mouth. These differences allow the teeth to do many different jobs. Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They help us to talk, and to pronounce different sounds clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our face its shape. A healthy smile can be a great asset; and because this is so important, it makes sense to give your teeth the best care possible.
Tooth decay can be painful and lead to fillings, crowns or inlays. If tooth decay is not treated, the nerve of the tooth can become infected and die, causing an abscess. This may then need root canal treatment or even for the tooth to be removed. It is very important that you keep up a good routine at home to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Gum disease is common and, if left untreated, may lead to bone loss around the teeth. In some cases it may lead to loose teeth and teeth being lost. Gum disease is preventable. It can be treated and kept under control with regular cleaning sessions and check-ups, preventing further problems. If teeth are lost, it may be necessary to fill the gaps with bridges, dentures or implants.

How To Prevent Cavities When You Have A Sweet Tooth
Thanks to years of education from parents, teachers, dental hygienists, and dentists, most of us are aware that eating candy and drinking sugary drinks can contribute to tooth decay. For those who enjoy the taste of sugar, satisfying their sweet tooth can lead not only to cavities, but also to feelings of guilt every time they indulge.

By following a few common sense practices, however, those who consume more sugar than average can maintain healthy teeth. Here are a few tips that can help prevent cavities for sugar lovers.

Brush Often

While this might seem elementary, a busy schedule often prevents you from brushing as often as you should. To keep your teeth clean, you should:

Carry a portable or disposable toothbrush with you at all times. Portable toothbrushes can be godsends for busy adults, such as sales representatives and insurance agents, who are on the road during the day. They allow you to quickly visit the restroom after eating a sugary dessert or snack and remove any food or sugar on the teeth.
Change your toothbrush at home. If you consume a lot of sweets, chances are you're at risk for more plaque buildup than the average person, since plaque thrives in a carbohydrate-rich environment. Toothbrushes with triple-action bristles and diamond-shaped heads are designed to be better at cleaning hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. Powered toothbrushes can also make brushing more comfortable and enjoyable.
Other Tips

For those without the means or willingness to carry a toothbrush around, here are some other things to consider:

Use a mouthrinse to remove as much sugar and sticky residue as possible. While mouthrinses that contain fluoride are ideal, even swishing plain water around your mouth can help when no other option is available.
Chew a sugar-free gum after eating sweets to help clean your teeth. The gum will increase the production of saliva, aiding in removing any sugar coating the teeth.
Choose less sugary snacks. Obviously, fruits are a healthy way to satisfy a craving for sweets, but for those who don't want to substitute a banana for a donut, there are still some choices you can make to lessen the risk of cavities. For example, a slice of pound cake will not coat the mouth in sticky sugar for quite as long as a chocolate fudge brownie or piece of gooey taffy.
The key to prevent cavities after eating sugary foods is simply to prevent the mouth from remaining coated in the acid-forming sugars and other carbohydrates found in sweets after eating.
