Beauty 101: White teeth signal youth, health and hygiene all fundamental to revealing your inner princess. A smile is the cross cultural symbol of confidence, pleasure and happiness. With a smile you actively communicate your jena se qua (X factor) for an instantaneous attraction. Candy for the princess. The Basics:
- Regular dental visits including professional cleaning and polishing
- Brush and floss regularly (sonic toothbrush is a good option)
- Use a whitening toothpaste like Crest 3D
- Finish with a whitening rinse
- Limit tobacco, coffee, black tea, dark cola and red wine
- Drink plenty of water
- Finnish with a good lip balm like Ecotints
- Supplement vitamin C for healthy gums
Whitening: Once you covered the basics and you teeth still need a whitening boost, there are several choices at various price points. The fastest and most effective is professional laser whitening (Zoom Whitening) an in-office dental procedure costing about $300.00. Cheaper and reasonably effective alternatives are over the counter peroxide treatment kits like Crest Whitestrips ($25-$50) that brighten your smile over a series of treatments. Peroxide can irritate your gums and cause tooth sensitivity; remember to follow directions and heed package direction. For a gentler natural approach, brushing with coconut oil is surprisingly effective natural alternative.
Tip: Lipstick with blue undertones will make you teeth appear even whiter.
