Dental Newsflash
| Flossing removes plaque—a sticky, germ-containing substance that builds up on your teeth and gums to cause gum disease—as well as debris that can adhere to teeth and gums and in between teeth. Floss is the single most important weapon against plaque. By flossing your teeth daily, you increase the chances of keeping your teeth for a lifetime. |

Who Has the Best Smile??? I thought we would do something a little fun this week. In dentistry, we hear it all the time. “I would love to have a Hollywood smile”. One problem though, a Hollywood smile can vary quite a bit because it depends on whose smile in Hollywood you think is pretty. Recently the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), the largest non-profit association of cosmetic dental professionals in the world, conducted a survey of its dental members to determine which Hollywood stars and professional athletes have the most glamorous grins. I thought it would be enjoyable to pass on their results to see if you agree! AACD announced that the winners for best celebrity smiles are: 38% of responding dental professionals said that Oscar and Golden Globe winner, Bond girl and X-men superhero Halle Berry is the female celebrity with the best smile. When asked which celebrity smile is requested most often by their patients, AACD members said that a pretty woman gets the nod: Julia Roberts.
A SMILE THAT MAKES US SWOON Hollywood hunk Matthew McConaughey was tops for best male celebrity smile, with 44% of the vote.
QUEEN OF THE TEEN SCENE 40% of respondents think that America’s teen sweetheart Hilary Duff has the best smile of teen celebrities.
SHE ACED IT Tennis phenom Maria Sharapova aced the AACD member dentists with her stunning smile: 42% voted hers the best female athlete smile.
SMILE ABOVE PAR 59% of responding dentists listed Tiger Woods as the male athlete with the best smile.
I have been a member of the AACD for a number of years and since the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry did the survey and I am printing their results, it is only fitting that I let you know something about the organization. AACD is the world’s largest organization of cosmetic dental professionals committed to excellence in cosmetic dentistry, with more than 7600 members in over 60 countries around the globe. To learn how you can achieve a celebrity-worthy smile, visit AACD’s web site at www.aacd.com.
