As I said yesterday, a smile is a very important part of being you. BUT, a scary bad smelling yellow smile if not attractive at all. It doesn't matter if your teeth aren't straight, honey that's part of your charm, but no one (in a first world country) has an excuse for poor dental hygiene. So here are a few tips to a more dazzling smile.
1.) Brush your teeth. Not hard and you should definately be doing it at least twice a day. I recommend using Tom of Maine's all natural toothpaste. It doesn't burn my mouth and has a pleasant aftertaste. I recomend the wintermint. It used to only be available at health food stores but now even WalMart and Target carry it.
2.) Floss. Not everyday because I know you won't, but flossing is important for gum health and you don't want tooth decay, do you? I recomment buying the disposable reachers that help you get into the back of your mouth. Don't forget to get back there!
3.) If you have bad breath, use a mouth wash. Again, I recommend Tom of Maine's ,but Listerine works just as well. If you want to burn your mouth off...
4.) Tongue scraper. Do it before you brush to get build up off your tongue to promote better breath.
5.) One or twice a week, brush your teeth with baking power. Yep, the white stuff in your fridge. It kills odor causing bacteria and dramatically whitens your teeth.
Now go forth my frumpy ladies! Smile the day away
