As February approaches, symbols of love are everywhere we look. Heart-shaped boxes filled with candy line store shelves, and windows are adorned with red and pink hearts. <\/p>\n

Love is all around us. But for some people, this month can serve as a painful reminder of what once was. For whatever reason, falling in love is just a hazy memory from long ago. We vaguely remember what it was like. We\u2019re pretty sure it was beautiful, but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n

As the years go by, and as we evolve, we fall in and out of love. With romantic partners, with friends, with ourselves. If enough time has passed, you may start to wonder if you can learn to love again. <\/p>\n

Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Fortunately, it\u2019s never too late to fall in love again, and it all begins with how you feel about yourself. <\/p>\n

Begin by asking yourself how you feel about your appearance. When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Are you even smiling? If not, that may be a good place to start. <\/p>\n

Your smile. What made you stop loving it and what can you do to love it again? There\u2019s a cosmetic dentist in Monroe, LA who can help you answer those questions. It\u2019s Dr. Finley at Bayou Dental Group, and he has been a trusted smile creator for over thirty years. <\/p>\n

Where Was the Love Lost?<\/b><\/p>\n

The reasons for falling out of love with your smile are different for every person, but here are a few common reasons people seek the help of cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n

The Effects of Time<\/b><\/p>\n

Over the years, your teeth will show signs of normal wear and tear. Chewing certain foods can cause damage to our teeth slowly over time, until eventually, we notice they\u2019re visibly shorter than they used to be in certain places. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been a lover of coffee, wine, or sodas for many years, perhaps you have noticeable stains. Dark-colored beverages and those with high acidity can certainly lead to discoloration over time. <\/p>\n

The Effects of Stress<\/b><\/p>\n

Stress has a profound impact on our health, and our oral health is no exception. Sometimes stress can cause you to clench your jaw and grind your teeth, often when you don\u2019t even realize it. Over time, this can lead to minor discomforts like frequent headaches, but it can also lead to more long term damage like cracked or chipped teeth. <\/p>\n

The Effects of Aging<\/b><\/p>\n

As we get older, our teeth show signs of aging. Gums can recede and make your teeth appear longer on the bottom, for example. Your teeth can also appear to change in color to look yellow or even gray in some cases. <\/p>\n

The Effects of Bad Habits<\/b><\/p>\n

Smoking is one of the most common culprits of discoloration on a person\u2019s teeth. Poor oral hygiene is also a factor in determining the longevity of your teeth\u2019s overall function and appearance. <\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been very kind to yourself over the years, it will show on your smile. But it\u2019s never too late to reverse the damage done, especially with an expert like Dr. Finley to help. Give us a call to schedule a consultation with him or fill out our online form<\/a>!<\/p>\n
