Easy and Inexpensive Tips for a Whiter Smile

Dr. Laura Torrado
Dentist to celebrities, Dr. Laura Torrado, shared with us these tips to getting a brighter smile (and keeping it that way) without the big price tag associated with laser teeth whitening.  We'd add our favorite OTC product, Go Smile, to her list.

Here's what Dr. Torrado recommends:

1. Over the counter whitening strips are an inexpensive alternative to professional bleaching kits or office bleaching


2. Daily brushing and flossing after every meal is the most inexpensive and easy way to maintain a healthy, beautiful looking smile

3. Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, table salt and a dab of toothpaste are the perfect ingredients to a home whitening concoction

4. Do not use teeth whitening recipes that involve lemon or orange peels- they decalcify and de-mineralize your enamel making it more prone to decay
