What is the best accessory to any outfit?
A fabulous smile.
Here are some tips to brighten those pearly whites-
Bronzer
The darker you are, the lighter your teeth will look. Sweep some bronzing powder along your cheekbones. Stay away from yellow tones.
We recommend M.A.C. Bronzer, $25
Lipstick
Add a touch of carefully selected color to your lips. Red is the ideal choice.
Avoid orange or yellow-toned reds. However, if you opt for pink, avoid pastel, frosty hues.
Floss daily
Teeth with plague are prone to stains. Flossing not only combats the build-up of plague but stops tartar from forming and helps clean hard-to-reach tight spaces between teeth.

Sweet sips
Yes, coffee drinkers, I’m talking to you. Dark-colored pigments become embedded in the cracks and ridges in our enamel. Minimize tooth contact by using a straw.
Cheese, please!
Vitamin D and calcium supplements help protect against tooth loss.
A deficiency increases the risk for periodontal (gum) disease. Plus, calcium creates a film over teeth that protects against, ahem, red wine stains.
Get your fruit fix
You know what they say about an apple a day…
Fiber from raw fruit and veggies act as a natural abrasive to help clean teeth.
Shine on!
Incorporate jewelry to draw attention away from your smile. Avoid wearing gold.
Try wearing rhinestones or silver instead.
