Being negligent towards oral care can result in weakened gums, yellowing teeth and frequent visits to the dentist. Good dental care habits last, if they are adopted early on in life, otherwise one may end up developing a lackadaisical attitude towards oral care which results in years of neglect. People realize their mistake only after their teeth acquire an ugly yellow color or when painful gums and week teeth take away the joy from eating. The only option left then is to become best buddies with your dentist or so people think! Actually, there is another option which most of us may not be aware of and that is listening to subliminal messages.

What are subliminal messages and how do they work?

Our subconscious is extremely powerful and is believed to influence all our mind and body functions. Subliminal messages work as they are said to have the power to influence and reprogram the subconscious. These messages may be in the form of text, video or audio. The most commonly used instruments for transmitting subliminal messages are audio cds. Soundtracks in these cds come packaged with subliminal messages. They could be embedded in music or could be played in reverse (mixed with music). People who believe in their power claim that listening to subliminal messages repeatedly can influence your subconscious mind in such a way that it:

• Directs your body's natural resources to your teeth and gums, which means that your mind will focus on providing extra blood flow, nutrition and energy to your teeth to naturally improve their condition.




• Makes you more conscious about your teeth i.e. you will no longer be lazy and skip on cleaning your teeth and you will care much more about the condition of your teeth.

Do remember not expect instant results; after listening to a subliminal message you won't wake up with pearly white teeth the very next morning! It will take time, patience, persistence and effort to acquire healthy teeth and gums, subliminal messages will only give your mind and body a push in the right direction.
