Celebrities reveal their secrets to a bright white smile

A bright, white smile is arguably our most important accessory as it’s synonymous with confidence and good health. But just like great skin and healthy hair, a set of sparkling pearly whites needs maintenance! In this episode, we ask some of our favorite stars how they keep their smiles in check. See what mom-to-be Vanessa Lachey, fashion designer Whitney Port, “Fashion Stars” Nicole Richie and Elle MacPherson, and more had to say.

No one wants yellow teeth, that’s a given. But what are the best ways to maintain a bright, white smile? TV host-actress-model, Vanessa Lachey, is a fan of the mechanical toothbrush, which she uses twice, sometimes three times a day. “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Dayana Mendoza who has alarmingly perfect teeth, is committed to flossing. Fashion designer Whitney Port swear by Crest Whitestrips for professional results one can get at home. If you think about it, what you don’t do matters almost as much. Catherine Pierce, one half of the indie rock duo, the Pierces, doesn’t drink coffee. Nicole Richie doesn’t smoke. Nicole’s fellow "Fashion Star" Elle MacPherson, however, thinks a real secret to a bright smile comes from the inside, “Feeling loved up!” she says, “It’s all about that.”
