5 Tips to Brighten Your Smile in 2025

It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2024, which might have you thinking about the positive changes you’d like to make in 2025. Eating healthier, exercising regularly and getting more shut eye are among the common New Year’s resolutions that may be on your list, but have you thought about what you can do to improve your smile?

There are many steps you can take to give yourself a brighter, more confident smile in 2025, from elevating your home care routine to finally scheduling the cosmetic treatments you’ve been thinking about. Dr. Danny Moosa and the team at Parkway Family Dental in Columbus, Ohio, can provide the guidance you need to make those changes, determine the best treatment options and meet your dental health goals. They’re a true partner that’s committed to providing comprehensive care and investing in technologies, like intraoral scanners and digital x-rays, that enhance the patient experience and lead to the best possible results.

Ready for a new you in the New Year? Follow these five tips for a brighter smile in 2025.

1. Switch to an electric toothbrush.

This is an easy change you can make at home that will benefit your oral health and help improve your smile. Electric toothbrushes remove more plaque than their manual counterparts and do wonders for gum health. Many come with timers to help ensure you’re brushing for a full 2 minutes, another smile-boosting benefit. They’re also better at getting into more difficult to reach areas than your manual brush, leaving your teeth cleaner and your mouth healthier.

Electric toothbrushes come with different features designed to make brushing more effective. Not sure which option is best for you? Dr. Moosa and his Polaris, Ohio, based team can help. They’re happy to offer recommendations so you can be confident you’re investing in an electric toothbrush that you’ll love.  

2. Make flossing part of your routine.

Your toothbrush, electric or not, simply can’t get to everything that can cause problems in your mouth, which is why flossing is so important. Flossing removes the food particles and plaque that build up between your teeth and along your gumlines, leaving your mouth healthier and your breath fresher.

It only takes a few minutes to floss, making it an easy addition to your dental home care routine, but it’s important to do it correctly. Dr. Moosa and his team at Parkway Family Dental can show you the right technique and answer any questions you have about flossing.

3. See Dr. Moosa regularly.

Make it a priority to schedule and keep appointments for routine cleanings at Parkway Family Dental in Polaris, Ohio in 2025. During these appointments, Dr. Moosa and his team will complete a thorough exam and go over any issues they discover. These routine cleanings are also key to preventing problems, with the team providing fluoride treatment, for example, to keep your teeth strong and healthy.  

4. Consider professional whitening.

Really want to brighten your smile in 2025? It might be time to schedule whitening treatment at Parkway Family Dental—especially if you have a wedding, reunion or other important event coming up in the New Year. Dr. Moosa and his team will work with you to select the best whitening option and the perfect shade. They’ll guide you through the process and by the end of treatment, you’ll have a bright, beautiful smile.

5. Schedule the cosmetic dentistry you’ve been putting off.

Have you been thinking about straightening your smile with clear aligner therapy, or do you have an interest in veneers? Dr. Moosa offers a variety of cosmetic services in his Polaris, Ohio, practice, and his team can educate you about each one and which might be right for you. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Moosa to learn more about the cosmetic services you’re interested in, or to finally go through with treatment you’ve already talked about.
