Summer is the season for special celebrations like weddings, graduations, and parties. Longer days and warmer nights are just around the corner and you know what that means? It is the perfect time to whip out the camera and capture these priceless moments with a photo.
Your dentist in Calgary and photographer, want to help you look and feel your best for all these important events. The following are 5 professional tips that you can use the next time someone asks to take a photo.
Are you ready for your close-up?
1. Tilt your head slightly
Chances are you’ve probably been asked to switch sides with your friends during a photo because it wasn’t their “good side”. This flattering angle can instantly conceal small facial asymmetries. Wondering if you have a good side? Simply take a look in the mirror and see which side is the one with more upturned features. Also, make sure that your eyes are looking at the camera if your head is tilted or turned.
2. Moisten your teeth
Before the shutter clicks, glide your tongue over your teeth. A little extra shine can make your smile stand out and look more appealing in photos. This will also brighten your face and add liveliness to your portrait.
3. Relax and don’t clinch
While we have all been told to say “cheese” before a photo, this can result in a fake-looking smile as the “ee” sound stretches your mouth. Instead, say something that ends in an “uh” sound, which will allow your lips to form a more natural smile, rather than a forced smile. When posing, try parting your teeth or lips slightly for a more relaxed position. It may be easier to let your natural smile shine when you think of someone you love or recall a funny story.
4. Have your teeth professionally cleaned at Aspen Dental Care
Before any big event, professional teeth cleaning at Aspen Dental in Calgary can ensure your smile is bright and healthy. During this procedure, your dentist will remove plaque and tartar buildup on the outer surfaces of your teeth, between the teeth and below the gum line.
Eliminating plaque and tartar layers are not only for aesthetic purposes, but it is also essential for your oral health. A professional cleaning will reduce your risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease. Also, it will give you the opportunity to ask your dentist in Calgary about any cosmetic services you may be interested in. Teeth whitening, bonding, and dental veneers are just a few of the many ways you can achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Tooth discoloration can be the result of aging, smoking, or the consumption of coffee, tea, and red wine. Over time, tooth stains can cause your smile to darken or turn yellow.
