You want to sparkle on New Years Eve……so why shouldn’t your smile?

We checked in with dashing Dr. Steven Butensky to find out how he makes a smile sparkle like a disco ball! Butensky is a skilled clinician and lecturer with over 20 years experience in prosthodontics and cosmetic dentistry [as well as a Hamptonite!], and maintains a private practice in New York City. Hollywood’s A-list trust Dr. Butensky with their priceless pearly whites, so before you pick out what to wear on New Years Eve, take a look below at his top tips on how to “dress” your smile first….CHEERS!

Here are Dr. Steven Butensky’s  5 tips for a beautiful holiday smile:

1. Stay away from coffee, red wine or black tea when attending holiday parties if you want to keep your teeth white, but if you can’t live without them then rinse your mouth with water immediately after you drink one of these. Rinsing with water is an effective way to reduce any risk of discoloration.

2. If you’re at a party and your teeth feel like they need to be cleaned- look for an apple or celery to munch on. Crunchy fruits and vegetables can help clean your teeth in any social emergency.

3. Tooth color is genetic, so some people are simply born with whiter enamel. If you weren’t blessed with a gorgeous grin like my sister and her son [above], try some of the various whitening treatments – [Rembrandt makes great kits to use at home] or ask your cosmetic dentist about getting veneers~ who doesn’t look better with a perfect set of white teeth?

4. Many people have irregular shaped teeth, which have a higher likelihood of staining. Use a rotating brush for a clean and healthier look. Sonicare has a great line.

5. Oral heath is key for aging teeth- drink a lot of water and limit foods with a lot of sugar and carbs [like the dessert tray at the party!]. Avoid snacking since the acid will attack your teeth for up to 20 minutes if you don’t brush asap.
