Going Brighter and Whiter

Let’s face it, United Kingdomers. We are notorious for our teeth. I’m not sure where the stigma comes from, be it our habitual visits to the pub, the unvarying intake of cigarettes, or the black tea we down morning, noon, afternoon, and night. I’m not sure about you, but I no longer want to be associated with the yellowish, brown tint of a grin we mates are so often associated with.
