What do Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Demi Moore all have in common? (Well, other than a penchant for gorgeous, slightly younger men?) Fabulous smiles! Hollywood's A-listers know the importance of keeping your teeth bright--a whiter smile makes you look younger, healthier and simply better. Cosmetic dentists offer a variety of in-office procedures, but they can be expensive--not to mention painful! We recommend these amazingly effective at-home alternatives to keep your grin gleaming (and your breath delicious!).
Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal 14-Day Whitening: Insanely popular (because they really do efficiently remove stains and whiten teeth in only 14 days), this latest Whitestrips version features an advanced seal that better bonds to teeth, allowing you to wear them for half an hour each day while out-and-about, without much fuss or interference. If you have extra sensitive teeth, try popping an Advil half an hour before applying.


Go Smile Touch Up Smile Perfecting Ampoules, Fresh Mint Flavor: We're addicted to these innovative, portable whitening ampoules, which are smaller than a Q-tip, freshen breath (the Fresh Mint is delicious, but they also come in Watermelon Mint and Green Apple!) and allow you to instantly whiten on-the-go. If you're going out for red wine or are a regular at your local Starbucks, they're very helpful!


Colgate Wisp Portable Toothbrush: Breath-freshening beads make these innovative, single-use toothbrushes effective without water. Just pop one in your purse and discreetly wipe away stains and freshen breath whenever necessary.


Oral-B Advantage Floss Picks Plus Scope Outlast: Is there anything duller than flossing? (Uhh...paint drying?) You know you have to do it...your dentist has drilled its importance in your head...and yet so many of us "forget" our daily duty. These floss sticks make the entire enterprise that much easier, with grips that allow for even hard-to-reach access, plus infusions of Scope Outlast mouthwash that keep your mouth clean and your breath delicious.


Mint Asure Fresh Breath Capsules: Our secret weapon in the quest for a gorgeous smile are these digestible soft-gel breath supplements, containing natural parsley seed oil, which sweetens and freshens breath from the inside. Pop 2 or 3 after a meal and--even if you've had mounds of garlic and onions--breathe easy.


Cover Girl Wet Slicks Amazement Lip Gloss: So much more than just a pretty gloss, this revolutionary non-stick color also contains Crest Peppermint Oil, which freshens breath. Certain shades of lip color have been shown to brighten the appearance of your smile; pick a blue-based shade to contrast the white of your teeth for an even sharper gleam!
