#1: Look At Inspirational Photos
Maybe you respond extremely well to positive motivation. If so, you may wish to spend a little time looking at photos of healthy, beautiful smiles that you admire. As long as these are realistic photos, of course, they might help generate that motivation you need to keep your smile as clean and healthy as possible through best dental care practices, so it continues looking vibrant.
#2: Give Yourself Goals And Rewards
Sometimes, a bit of an incentive is all you need. Perhaps you tell yourself that you’ll get to enjoy teeth whitening once your smile is fully restored. This can give you the motivation to come in for the restorative treatments you need, so you can hit your goal and reward yourself! Certainly a win-win.
#3: Get Real About Possible Consequences
The old saying, “out of sight, out of mind” seems to apply to many of our dental care patients. When they’re not faced with a severely decayed tooth, cannot see the results of serious oral health problems, etc., they simply assume they are immune. To give yourself the motivation you need, you may wish to ask us for visual examples of oral health problems, to ask us about what could happen if you avoid preventive and restorative care, and to spend some time imagining yourself without healthy teeth. This may help you recognize that keeping your smile healthy is most certainly worthwhile.
