A WINNING GRIN: Help! What can I do to brighten my smile?

A visit to your dentist might be in order if your teeth are seriously stained -- a thorough cleaning may be all you need to give your grin a glorious gleam.

There's also bleaching and other high-tech treatments to try if that doesn't do the trick.

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
is the only proven ingredient for whitening teeth and has been the effective element in dentist-prescribed bleaching systems and over-the-counter bleaching kits for years -- now it's popping up in toothpastes, where it can help improve the appearance of coffee- or food-stained teeth.

Start early using products with Hydrogen Peroxide (toothpastes, bleaching kits, etc.) as no product can guarantee overnight results.

If your heart is set on a June wedding or another popular season and it seems that all the wedding and reception sites are booked, don't despair...
. . . consider a Sunday afternoon wedding.
Think about it...
Most people attend church on Saturday evening or Sunday morning - so Sunday afternoons are often times free. Out of state family has an extra day to drive in.
Being an off-day for business, you may even get better rates with your vendors.
