Show off those pearly whites

What do the majority of celebrities have in common? Yes you guessed it, they all have immaculate white teeth.

So how white are your pearly whites?. It’s lovely to see a white set of teeth when someone smiles it instantly makes them look younger.
In this day and age of cosmetic mania we have absolutely no excuse for stained unkempt teeth. There are lots of different procedures around on the market to brighten up your smile and while some can be very costly others are cheap and cheerful.
If you have the time, patience and money then a much quicker effect to attain white teeth is to have them laser whitened. This is time consuming and sitting still for a hour is not to everyone’s liking and on the downside, it can cause sensitivity - believe me. Using whitening pens applied day and night can also be effective as a top up after laser whitening, I recommend Brite Smile to go.
If you’re on a budget but still desire whiter teeth, check out “at home” whitening kits, effects are produced after prolonged use and you really need to have the dedication to stick to the routine nightly – most people give up half way then complained it never worked - but they are a much cheaper alternative to laser treatment.

A cheap but effective way to brighten up teeth is to use a little bit of bicarbonate soda with your ordinary toothpaste daily.
Some final reminders to keep your teeth in good condition: brush twice a day, change your tooth brush regularly, visit the dentist every six months and don’t forget to floss as 35 per cent of the teeth are left untouched when you don’t floss. Keep away from tea, coffee, red wine and cigarettes as these all encourage those nasty stains whereas eating apples and celery naturally cleans your teeth. Maybe if you follow the above regime you too could have a Hollywood smile.
