White Teeth in No Time

Listen up. A white smile is not a happy smile, it’s the ONLY smile. It’s the first thing people see when they meet you and yellow teeth are just NOT acceptable. You wouldn’t go to an interview or on a date with stained clothes…and from now on, you certainly won’t go to either with a stained mouth. 

Not Your Mother's Toothbrush
A worthy splurge - there is a new product launching this spring that we’ve been lucky enough to test. It’s appropriately called the Supersmile Sonic Pulse Toothbrush and it’s incredible! The brush utilizes a patented, ADA - recommended 45° head to make sure your brush gets under your gums, preventing gingivitis. Additionally, it operates at 30,000 strokes per minute, ensuring you brush properly. It even has a two-minute auto timer that pulses every 30 seconds, signaling it's time to move to another part of your mouth. It’s costly at $99.99, but it's a goof-proof toothbrush!

A more inexpensive option is the Crest SpinBrush. It also features an oscillating head and multi level bristles to help remove plaque (and those pesky coffee and red wine stains). It cost less than $10 at most drugstores and will prep your teeth for any whitening treatment.

Whitening Treatments 
We’ve tried them all and when it comes to peroxide….you get what you pay for. However you don’t have to break the bank to buy some pearly whites. Here are some products we love:

1- Liquid Smile pen: It's as small as a lip gloss, and you  literally paint it on. Ten minutes later and no one will know you had more than one glass of merlot. We love the ease of use and it’s convenience -  you can bring it along for daily touch-ups.
2- Crest Whitestrips: More cost effective, Whitestrips certainly do the trick. While you can't use these on a mid-date bathroom run, you can apply  them for just ten minutes a morning, and you'll be good to go.

Although you can’t use these on a mid-date bathroom run, for just ten minutes a morning.
