Summer is a time of travelling and taking fun vacations with the family or just going solo.  Packing is the not so fun part but taking along ready to go kits like the GOSmile GOTravel Kit will keep your mouth clean and fresh and make packing alot easier.  The kit contains a lemonade smile toothpaste, travel size toothbrush, mouthwash rinse and 6 easy to use teeth whitening ampoules.  Also included is a compact mirror so you can view your pearly whites. Comes in a stylish vinyl zip bag.

Aesthetics doesn’t just refer to skincare but can also include mouth care.   In the last post I mentioned the Mouth Facial created by Dr. Gerry Curatola.  A great new treatment to keep our gums, mouth and teeth feeling fresh and sparkling clean. 

Now, let’s go a step further and check out Dr. Joseph Zelig, a NYC board certified periodontist who has just introduced a form of periodontal surgery called the Gum Lift at his practice “The Smile in the City Dental Group”. Face it, if your gums aren’t healthy first why spend money on fixing or whitening your teeth? 

Dr. Zelig refers to the gums as the “frame of a perfect picture”.  A smile is usually one of the first things a person notices about someone.  We flash our teeth and gums daily so why shouldn’t we give extra attention to caring for them? Not only can the Gum Lift restore gums infected by gingivitis but with a laser can also fix uneven gums or use of soft tissue grafts to build up receding gums.

Also something a friend of mine just mentioned to me last night, for anyone with toothaches, gingivitis and gum disease… try applying a little oregeno oil that is know for it’s antiseptic healing properties to the area for fast relief.  For long term results visit Dr. Zelig for the Gum Lift.

There is just such a thing and it was created by Dr. Gerry Curatola, founder of the Rejuvenation Mouth Facial in NYC.  Healthy teeth and gums means a healthy body and since alot of our health issues can occur from problems with our teeth and gums it’s important to take care of them with regular dental visits and now even a facial. 

The mouth facial is similar to that of an actual facial where you’ll receive a relaxing face massage prior to starting the treatment, this will also include the use of aromatherapy candles to give the feeling of being at a spa.  Next there is a mouth cleansing and removal of any plaque or calcium deposits.  Lastly an antioxidant rich gum mask is applied.   What you’re left feeling with is spa fresh teeth!

Well, Christmas has come and gone again and I hope that Santa was good to everyone.  I received more gifts then I know what to do with this year and so did my son.  I may need to move into a bigger place just to accommodate all his stuff!  I found myself buying friends and family alot of what I would use for myself and one of my most favorite giving gifts this year was toothpaste.  But not just any toothpaste… that would be too boring.  It had to of course be from goSMILE who has the most delicious tasting toothpaste available.  Who doesn’t love the scents of aromatherapy and when combined in toothpaste who wouldn’t want to kiss you!  The 5 Senses Toothpaste Kit contains yummy flavors like mango paradise, aloha tropical, lemonade, ginger cookie and peppermint candy.  You can still savor the scents of Christmas long after they are gone.  Another favorite gift i gave this year from goSmile was the flip, pop and apply directly on the tooth whitener.  So easy, no mess and extremely effective.  Loved it so much i bought myself one!  Your teeth can never be too white:)

Here’s a new breakthrough technology that alot of us can benefit from… an innovative power toothbrush that removes up to 97% of plaque on our teeth.  The Ultreo power toothbrush uses ultrasound waveguide technology with sonic bristle action to effectively remove plaque and leave your mouth feeling incredibily clean and fresh.

Ultreo has been proven to remove hard-to-reach plaque on teeth, improve overall gum health and reduce stains for whiter teeth. Cost is about $170 and can be purchased at ultreo.com or drugstore.com. 

Whiter teeth is alot easier to achieve now with Crest Whitestrips Daily Multicare. Only 5 minutes a day is all you need for a brighter and whiter more beautiful smile.  Since the daily whitestrips contain less peroxide then the original, the whitening process is more gradual but just as effective in the removal of stains and enamel protection.

If you love to smile then you need to stock up on these. Supersmile Professional Whitening Gum  with Calprox® keeps breath fresh, removes surface stains and promotes healthier gums.  Supersmile is sweetened with Xylitol®, the natural cavity inhibitor.

I just got some yummy products yesterday from New Beauty’s Testtube program.  I’ve mentioned it before but to refresh… It’s a sampling program where you register to receive a test tube filled with product samples from top beauty companies 4 times a year for $29.95 each time.  The latest testtube was filled with trial size to full size products ranging from kiss me mascara to a perricone alpha lipoic acid eye treatment to young blood mineral makeup and more.  I have to say the 29.95 was a small fee to pay considering the total cost of these products was probably over $200!  This is such a great idea.. i was introduced to products i may not have gotten around to trying like my new favorite toothpaste the PM GoSmile Whitening Toothpaste. Just think aromatherapy but for you mouth.  I seriously did not want to stop brushing my teeth!  The flavour is so yummy and in a weird sense almost calming…probably due to the essential oils of chamomile and lavender -  a great way to start winding down for the evening. 

My other new favorite is the C-Lipoic Lip Enhancer by DermaQuest.  It’s an antioxidant lip moisturizer and plumper.  It takes dull pink lips and brings in a rosey pink color with more definition and increased lip fullness.  To keep the look all day you need to reapply kind of like lipgloss.  I haven’t had a chance to try the other products yet but I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.
