I’ve always said that the first thing that I notice about someone is their eyes.  This is true in most cases. Unfortunately, this does not hold true when someone has really bad teeth and/or has neglected their dental hygiene.  Dr. Catrise Austin has written this book to educate us on how to achieve a great smile. Being a celebrity dentist, she has some great references to back up her advice.

When I was in my mid-thirties and on my second set of braces, a wise eighty-three-year-old man told me, “You better take good care of your teeth otherwise it won’t be too long before you will be keeping them in a glass next to your bed.”  This was really good advice coming from someone who knows.  Flash forward seven years later and I am sitting here with two cracked teeth and a cracked filling because I got lazy about wearing my night guard.  My permanent crowns will be in next week…

When I got my hands on “5 Steps to the Hollywood A-List Smile” I was afraid that it might be too late for me.  Fortunately, this is not the case.  Actually, after reading the book, I would rate my teeth a B+.  Not too bad, but I want to be an A-Lister!  Reading through the five steps really gave me a better understanding of what I can do to help improve my appearance. Another benefit to taking care of my teeth is that it is better for my health.

I enjoyed learning about all of the options that are out there and the potential expenses involved.  Dr. Austin lists the pros and cons of each procedure.  It is also a relief to know that not everything is expensive, some of the advice offered is about how to properly brush and floss and what foods aren’t good for our teeth.  She presents information in a very positive, concise, and friendly manner. She also talks about what it felt like to have issues with her teeth when she was a teen. By the time you finish reading the book, you will feel like you have made a new friend.  I think that the best gift that you can give yourself today is “5 Steps to the Hollywood A-List Smile” by Dr. Catrise Austin.
