A bride’s smile is one of the most important parts of her outfit. Don’t let a few coffee stains ruin your photographs! Luckily, you don’t have to shell out the big dough if you don’t want to - there are a number of ways to get that dazzling smile of your dreams:

• Baking Soda: Ask your mom - back in the day, the only way to really whiten your smile was to brush with baking soda. Although it tastes pretty bad, this technique does still work and can be cost- and time-effective. Purchase a small box of baking soda, wet your toothbrush, shake off any excess water, and dip into the powder. Then, brush away. You’ll have a brighter smile in about two months.
• Change your Lifestyle: For some women, a brighter smile is simply about making better decisions. For example, if you and your groom both stop smoking, you’ll see a drastic change simply by using a regular whitening toothpaste. You can also give up dark sodas, coffee, and tea to stop the staining. You can find more information about teeth-whitening lifestyle changes to make here.
• Invest in Whitening Strips: Crest, Oral B, and even store brands make great products. While these will cost your $20 - $60 per month, they will improve your smile. If you don’t notice a different in about three weeks, ask for your money back and try another brand.
• See your Dentist: Of course, if you really want a drastic difference as quickly as possible, talk to your dentist. There are a number of treatments available, including a relatively inexpensive and quick “flash” technique to more expensive overlay options. Your teeth are an investment, so if you’ve been thinking about fixing them, you mist as well do it before your wedding!
