1. Whiten While You Chew: Everyone knows that red wine and coffee stain your teeth, but some foods can actually work to whiten your teeth while you eat! The following foods remove stains by exfoliating teeth before the stain molecules have the time to attach deeply to the surface. It is like a skin scrub for your smile. Foods that whiten teeth include: apples, celery, carrots, spinach, broccoli, lettuce.

2. Kiss The Stain Away: Some lip colors can actually make your teeth look significantly whiter (and darker!). If you have grayish teeth: avoid red lipsticks with blue tones. Try cool tone with brown base. Nude pinks with an almost brownish hues are best.

3. Go Bronze: Golden and tan skin tones (from a bottle not from harmful UVA/UVB rays of course) not only give you a more toned, healthy appearance but also make your eyes pop and your teeth look brighter! Some of the most natural looking new tanners include:SkinCeuticals Sans Soleil – a unique self-tanning lotion that delivers an even, natural looking tan without exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. Price: $32.00 at SkinCeuticals.com. DuWop Revolotion Body – Unlike traditional bronzers, Revolotion is actually a moisturizer that contains SPF 15 sun protection along with a kiss of bronzing pigment and subtle shimmer. The streak free, easy to apply formula is meant for legs, arms, back and decollate. Anywhere you want to show off perfect, glowing skin. Price: $28, available at Sephora and www.beauty.com.

4. Accessorize: Try wearing shimmering white rhinestone jewelry or gleaming silver to make your teeth appear whiter. Stay away from gold, which exaggerates any yellowish tones in teeth.

5. Clothing: A bright white shirt will only accentuate less-than-white teeth. Choose an off-white or cream-colored shade instead. Reducing the contrast will result in the appearance of a brighter, whiter smile.

Making smiles beautiful has been a passion for Dr. Jonathan Levine and he took this passion from the dentists chair to the store shelves with GoSmile. Here he talks with us about his company and passions (via www.beautyinterviews.com).

How was the idea for GoSMILE born?
GoSMILE, The Smile Beauty Company was co-founded in 2002 by my wife Stacey and I. We created this in response to my celebrity patients who wanted to whiten their teeth simply, effectively and safely.

How many shades lighter can my teeth get when using the GoSMILE Go All Out Starter Kit?
The Advanced formula B1 kit is clinically proven to whiten your smile 4-10 shades in 7 days depending on your starting shade.

What makes GoSMILE Elixir Good-For-You Breath Freshener special?
GoSmile, the innovating pioneer in tooth-whitening, has created the first breath spray to provide an optimal balance of pH in the mouth using a proprietary blend of potent, naturally-derived antioxidants, vitamins and herbal extracts, to fight against free radical assault and inflammation.

What is new at GoSMILE this year?
GoSMILE just launched >RINSE (GREATER THAN RINSE), the first-ever mouthwash infused with antioxidants.

What are some of the causes of yellowing teeth?
Food is a major cause of staining teeth. Berries, red wine, coffee, tea, cigarettes all add to staining ones teeth. There are however foods that can whiten teeth naturally by exfoliating. For example, foods that require a lot of chewing, such as apples, celery, and carrots whiten teeth naturally because they are like stain exfoliants, performing the same kind of sloughing action on teeth as exfoliators do to skin. Greens such as broccoli and spinach also prevent staining because they leave a film over the teeth that acts as a barrier. So next time you reach for that glass of Bordeaux, make sure you order a side of spinach.

Which celebrities swear by GoSMILE?
Sarah Jessica Parker, Christie Brinkley, Kate Winslet, Peter Gallagher, Mariska Hargitay
