Where You Live ...Beautiful Teeth?

Monday, August 24, 2009

Recently Totalbeauty.com asked Dr. Irwin Smigel, founder and president of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics (ASDA) and creator of Supersmile what in his opinion makes a beautiful smile?

Dr. Smigel criteria included patients that

1. floss and brush

2.No smoking

3.regular dental visits

4.Minimizing coffee, soda and red wine intake.

He also discussed that the city or climate that one resides in can have an impact. He believes that a dry climate or hard water can stain teeth or create a dry mouth, which can have an impact on your gums.

Totalbeauty.com took the criteria andmade a list of 14 cities that "fell short" on what it takes to have a healthy smile. Check it out at http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32492885/ns/today-today_fashion_and_beauty?GT1=43001
