We all prefer to match our fetching mustard Izod Ts with new Pumas instead of ugly, discolored teeth. So if you suffer from embarrassingly stained teeth, it's time to look into getting those suckers whitened. Here's how:

Skip the messy Crest White Strips and go straight for the toothpaste whitener. We like SuperSmile. Sure its almost 20 bucks a tube, but if its good enough for America's sweetheart Kelly Ripa, it's good enough for us. A much cheaper (and more natural) way to go is Tom's of Maine.

Or, let's say your coffee and cigarette habits rivals that of Britney Spears but your choppers don't. The girl can afford to have those pearly whites bleached and if you have a thousand bucks, so can you. There are several options including conventional or laser bleaching. Both involve trips to the dentist. Laser bleaching gives you the best improvement in the shade of your teeth but it's also the costliest procedure. Laser-free Britesmile is more affordable, gives you great results, and the price includes free before and after photos for you to take home. Woo-hoo.

Tooth whitening is safe but it's not for everyone! Check with your your dentist.
