We're joined by Bobby Bandlish, along with his wife and fellow dentist Gita - with some of their top teeth tips to ensure you are ready for that perfect kiss!
As well as road testing some tooth brushes - we'll also be offering you a step-by-step guide to maintaining that perfect smile and keeping your breath minty fresh!
* Today is Kissing Friday because it is said that on the Friday of Shrove Week, English schoolboys were once entitled to kiss girls without fear of resistance or objection. This lasted into the 1940s!
Gita's top tips to avoid gum disease
- Brush twice a day for two minutes and make sure you use the correct technique
- Have your teeth cleaned professionally by a dentist or hygienist every six months
- Do not smoke! Smoking alone is a trigger for gum disease so it is vital that you kick the habit!
- Use inter-dental brushes or floss: Brushing alone only kills up to 60% of tarter in your mouth! Despite what you see on the adverts, it is important to floss every other day
