1. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
This is precious time the body needs to repair itself. It is beneficial for the immune system, weight management and stress reduction.
2. Use a medical grade retinol on your skin nightly or every other night.
This aids in exfoliation, brightening, and collagen production in the skin helping it GLOW. Our Blush Retisoothe is a patient favorite.
3. Use a SPF on any sun-exposed areas daily.
This is for skin protection and prevention of premature aging. We love the Amarte Ultra Veil for everyday use for both men and women.

- Keep your teeth clean and white.
Ensuring you have a gorgeous, healthy smile can make you feel and look great. By brushing twice a day, flossing daily and seeing the dentist for cleanings regularly, you can avoid plaque and stain altogether. Further whitening can be done with whitening toothpaste, over the counter whitening strips or whitening trays through your dentist.
2. Wear clothes that make you feel good.
Whether you’re wearing a favorite color, a comfortable fit or a flattering style, putting on clothes that make you happy is one of my favorite ways to start off the day with a positive mindset.
3. Exercise in a way that’s enjoyable and realistic for you.
Exercise doesn’t have to be going to the gym or running marathons – it can be dancing, swimming, biking, walking with friends or rock climbing! Personally, I love running and loathe strength exercises. I know I need to do them to stay healthy while running, so I do them…occasionally…, but I continue running because it fits into my life and keeps me happy.

At Frankel Dentistry, patients have been glowing from the inside out since 1946. A healthy mouth promotes a healthy body, and the patients with beautiful, healthy smiles just can’t resist smiling. Smiling helps you live longer, relieves stress, elevates mood, is contagious, boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure, reduces pain, makes you attractive, suggests success and helps you stay positive. The doctors, healthcare professionals and staff at Frankel Dentistry agree on the top three GLOW hints for a healthy smile:
- See the dentist regularly.
Visit your dentist at least once every six months. Regular check-ups are the best way to address small issues before they become big issues.
- Brighten your smile.
Maintain a bright smile by brushing and flossing regularly. This practice helps keep your teeth clean and your smile radiant.
- Optimize your bite.
Consider occlusal adjustments or straightening your teeth. Patients with an optimal bite experience fewer headaches and studies suggest they even perform better in sporting activities. Properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean.
