Tooth whitening is the way one woman goes about improving her appearance.
Jill from Whitby responded to a recent Teletext question about how she would amend her appearance if she could and said while cosmetic surgery is out of the question, perfecting her smile is not.
She does not think she has the courage for a nip and tuck – so tooth whitening is her only indulgence.
And Jill was not the only person to mention cosmetic dentistry as something they are interested in.
The Teletext discussion also included Doncaster resident Marie’s comments. She said her "once nice smile" is fading away and therefore she would change her teeth if possible.
Last week, the Baltimore Sun advised readers on certain ways to stop their dental features ageing them.
Tooth whitening was recommended for brightening up a smile and keeping it shiny and "gleaming".
Veneers were also highlighted as an option, although a consultation with the dentist was suggested to find out more.
