Yep, another winning red-carpet smile, this time courtesy of Canadian actress Malin Ackerman at the Creative Arts Emmys. Anyway, I popped by Canada AM yesterday morning to chat with host Beverly Thomson about at-home teeth-whitening products that really work. In the clip below, we discuss peroxide facts and the best options for getting a whiter smile whether you’re a first-timer, a repeat whitener (maybe with an addiction), or looking for brightening solutions for sensitive teeth.
And the Bourjois Paris Smile Enhancing Gloss with Tooth-Brightening Effect Gel ($21 at Shoppers Drug Mart) is fun. I love the Raspberry shade; I’m wearing it in the clip. I don’t know for sure how much brightening the gel will deliver, but I feel as though it’s doing something — stay tuned.
Also: as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, the Reach Total Care Whitening Floss really is amazing. As gentle as my other favourite floss, Oral-B Glide, the Reach Total Care Whitening Floss has a bit of stretch as well as micro-grooves + baking soda to scrub away at stains between teeth. Using it is quite the satisfying experience that leaves teeth feeling really clean.
I added most of the following information to the clip, but if you don’t have a second to play the vid, here’s a list of what was on the Canada AM table:

Where do you fall on the teeth-whitening scale? Compulsive, regular, occasional, too-sensitive, or *shrug*?

Picture this: years ago I am at the gas pump Parkside and Bloor. Early morning so packed with cars. I am filling my Jeep. I catch some guy staring at me. He is focused. He walks towards me. (Yeah Baby!) Stops arms-length away and says: Your teeth are so white! What do you use?
Errr… Crest Whitestrips.
Hang the head as I thought he was going to ask for my number. ( I was single at the time)
You couldn’t write a better tv ad. I want to play myself but Bradley Cooper play the guy…the ending would be a little different.
Or Ryan Gosling.
Amazing. I’d change the ending too, especially if Bradley Cooper or Ryan Gosling were playing a starring role. Or, how about them both?
Andrea, that story is awesome, lol.
Naddy – thank you. Gotta laugh to keep from crying…
Janine – both? why not! ;)
