Switch on a full-beam smile
While the glitterati all seem to boast perfect grins, most of us mere mortals aren't blessed with such luck – or the money to pay for expensive cosmetic dentistry. However, with a little careful eating, a lot of dedicated brushing and a few clever products, you can polish up at a fraction of the cost.
Lighten up
Discoloured teeth can often be tackled by avoiding stain-inducing treats. Coffee, red wine, strong tea and cigarettes are all culprits so if you can't cut them out, cut them down – and make sure you brush dutifully after enjoying them. Two minutes, twice a day, should be the minimum amount of time you spend on cleaning your teeth. A thorough rinse with mouthwash after brushing will ensure your breath will remain minty fresh for longer – perfect for anyone planning a romantic encounter beneath the mistletoe this year.
The appliance of science
Special whitening pens and toothpastes can work wonders to shift stubborn stains, but beware of aggressively abrasive products. To ensure you’re getting the best, safest whitener, always opt for a reputable brand, such as Unilever's internationally-available Signal range. Our scientists have been working on world-class whitening ingredients for years and have developed our ranges to offer the best results with the minimum abrasion to your surface enamel.
