Anti-Aging Cosmetic Dentistry
A survey by Cosmetic News magazine has revealed that sun damage is still the most significant cause of ageing treated by UK doctors. Despite years of annual warnings over the dangers of UV exposure and spending too long in the sun, popular habit is still very much rooted in whipping everything off as soon as the clouds disappear for a couple of days. Part of this is understandable, especially in the north of the UK where most people see more lottery wins than they do a full week of sunshine, but it is when people go abroad and have a much stronger sun to deal with that they often make serious mistakes with their skin care.
Getting out in the fresh air and sunshine is good for you, but moving in to summer it is always important to make sure you use sun cream if you are planning on spending all day outside, and it is advisable to cover up or wear a hat when the sun is at its strongest in the middle of the day.
Although medical science is progressing constantly, prevention is by far and away better than cure. People automatically accept the need to clean their teeth at least twice a day to ensure their dental health, so trashing their skin with over-exposure to the sun seems comically short sighted. Whereas advances in cosmetic dentistry mean they can slap a new set of dental veneers over teeth that have been ignored, making your smile appear as youthful and flawless as a teenager’s, no one can provide you with a totally new skin. Not yet anyway. Be careful.
