A smile from anyone can brighten your day, make you feel a little happier, but do you know what your smile can say about you? Having a white smile can tell the world that you're confident, sexy, bright, engaged with your surroundings, and outgoing.

If your smile is brown, or yellowish, you can end up giving the impression that you don't particularly care much for your teeth, and that by extension, you may not care as much about other areas of your life - from personal to professional. Since your smile can represent so much about you, why would you let it be anything less than the best?

Fortunately there are some great options when it comes to teeth whitening. The first that always comes to mind is a trip to the dentist. Most dentists nowadays are capable at performing whitening services for their clients. Some dentists even specialize in cosmetic dentistry, and can perform a single whitening session in under an hour. While this can be a nice way to go, the cost for a single session alone puts this out of reach for most consumers. Simply put, whitening your teeth once with the dentist can cost you literally hundreds of dollars, and none of it will likely ever be covered by your insurance.

A much more affordable option, but one that is just as effective as the dentist, is to purchase an at-home teeth-whitening kit. The best of these kits use trays, not strips, in order to whiten your teeth. This is because trays provide a steady; even bleaching experience while strips can miss areas or slip off mid-bleach.

Show the world the confident, adept, and engaging person you are - whiten your teeth and let that smile shine.
