No one told me to drink soda through a straw back when I was in high school. And no one mentioned that perhaps coffee wasn't the best morning beverage to sip if I wanted to achieve whiter teeth...Oh the things your mother never told you!

 

Now, it's too late, the damage is done.

This spring getting a whiter smile is on my list of beauty to do's. I just blew my cash on a new BoConcept sofa, so the professional teeth whitening will have to wait. In the meantime, I've tried every over-the-counter teeth whitening system out there - from toothpaste to strips. You name it! Recently I've become a fan of the Go Smile Touch Ups pack. I try to always keep one on me, along with dental floss and a pack of gum.

 

The Go Smile Touch Ups ambules  are an on-the-go, disposable, teeth polishing system. These touch up mini-tubes help prevent additional soda, latte or juice stains from setting in on the teeth. Each single-dose container helps whiten teeth and freshen bad breath. LOVE that! Garlic breath or stale coffee breath is so not attractive!

Packaged like a pack of gum, Go Smile Touch Ups are perfect for a small clutch or an oversized gym bag. Just make sure they don't get trapped under something heavy, or this teeth whitening formula may end up on the bottom of your favorite bag.

 

Have you tried Go Smile Touch Up? Tell us what you think!!!

I had given up on coffee for years. Latte, no thanks. Espresso, nah. But recently I've given coffee a second chance and my teeth are definitely paying the price! My once pearly whites are now cursed by coffee stains. Ughhhh...

I want Michelle Obama's smile! Stunning!

Must-Try:
I'm a loyal Diet Coke and green tea drinker, but my teeth end up paying the price!

Before my wedding (only two short months ago), I decided to take action to achieve whiter, brighter teeth without breaking the bank.

Aa first step, a girlfriend recommended I try Rembrandt Intense Stain Toothpaste. This minty, whitening, toothpaste helps prevent cavities and visibly reduces stains using Alumisil (a combo of polishers and stain removers), Citrixain (a patented whitening agent) and fluoride. The more I use it, the better my results have been.

Beauty Buy:
I wanted to take my teeth whitening to the next level without spending the $500 on professional whitening treatments. I fell in love with Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. This enamel-safe whitening system removes surface stains and some below the enamel. After 14 days, my teeth looked visibly whiter, and still felt healthy and strong!

You Decide:
My dentist raves about the Zoom!, a whitening laser system that promises a visibly whiter and brighter smile in less than an hour. I was told I'd be a fabulous candidate, but was informed that some find the laser uncomfortable (others even painful). I haven't taken the plunge yet and tried Zoom! 

Tried it? Loved it? Tell me if this is a must-try or a treatment to pass by!
