(PRWEB) August 31, 2010 — Celebrity Dentist Dr. Catrise Austin owner of VIP Smiles and author of “5 Steps to the Hollywood A-List Smile: how the stars get that perfect smile and how you can too” and “the VIP Smiles Guide to Whiter Teeth”, surveyed the hottest Hollywood smiles on the Emmy’s red carpet this Sunday and is pleased to announce her top picks for "Best” and “Worse” Red Carpet Smiles.

And the winners are:

The Golden Smile!Not only did Modern Family’s beauty Sofia Vergara look stunning in her strapless diamond and gold fitted dress, but she had one of the most radiant smiles of the night! Vergara topped Dr. Austin’s list for “best female celebrity smile”.

A Smile that Makes You Want To Sing!

Actor Mathew Morrison of the hit show Glee topped Dr. Austin's list for “best male celebrity smile”.

A Winning White Smile! CSI Miami actress Eva LaRue showcased a dazzling white smile along with her beautiful white one shouldered dress. from head to toe she was simply gorgeous!

“Truly” a great Smile! despite having pointy canines like a true vampire should, actor Stephen Moyer of true Blood rocked a very sexy natural looking smile.

And the biggest losers are:

A Smile that You Wouldn't kill To Have!Currently on the hit show Dexter, veteran actor John Lithgow’s teeth topped Dr. Austin’s “worse celebrity smile list”. Austin says “John Lithgow’s teeth desperately need straightening. I recommend either porcelain veneers that could cosmetically align his teeth in just 1 week or clear removable braces like the new Clear correct brand that could straighten his smile in approximately 1 year”. in addition, Dr. Austin says that Lithgow needed a boost of teeth whitening to brighten his dull yellow smile.

Teeth whitening is the number one requested cosmetic procedure in cosmetic dentistry practices across the nation. Dr. Austin says “Celebrity smiles are not just reserved for Hollywood’s rich and famous! for those who are on a budget but still want a red carpet smile, I recommend skipping the costly 1 hour in-office whitening and start of the fall fashion season in style with the new Crest and Oral-B 3D White collection. You can actually see results in just 1 DAY when you use the entire 3D White collection which includes Crest 3D White Pro Effects Whitestrips, Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste, Crest 3D White Multicare Whitening Rinse, and Oral-B Pulsar or Advantage 3D White Vivid Toothbrushes!”

A Smile that Belongs on the D-List! Dressed in her purple Zac Posen dress, mad Men’s Christina Hendricks could also use a smile makeover. Dr. Austin says “Christina is a beautiful girl, but you’ll notice that she rarely smiles in her pictures on the red carpet perhaps because her smile is far from perfect”.

6 August 2010Last updated at 19:27 ET Share this page Wearing tongue studs has even been linked to brain abscesses

People with tongue piercings risk developing gaps between their front teeth as a result of playing with the stud, US researchers have found.

The University of Buffalo team says that, as well as potentially requiring cosmetic work, people can develop infections and chipped teeth.

It discusses a patient in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics who needed braces to correct the gap in her teeth.

UK experts advised people to "steer clear" of the adornment.

The researchers said that people with tongue piercings were likely to push the metal stud up against their teeth and consequently cause gaps and other problems to arise.

Sawsan Tabbaa, professor of orthodontics at the University of Buffalo, detailed the 26-year-old's case.

She had had no space between her teeth before wearing a barbell-shaped tongue stud.

However, a space had appeared between her upper front teeth over the course of the seven years she had worn it for, because the metal bar was pushed against and between the teeth.

Temptation

Professor Tabbaa said: "the barbell is never removed because the tongue is so vascular that leaving the stud out can result in healing of the opening in the tongue, so it makes perfect sense that constant pushing of the stud against the teeth – every day with no break – will move them or drive them apart.

The author concluded that tongue piercings could result in serious injuries, not just to teeth. Piercings have also been associated with haemorrhages, infections, trauma to the gums and, in the worst cases, brain abscesses.

Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said: "the temptation of playing with the stud in the mouth would be very high and in time this could lead to hundreds of pounds worth of corrective treatment.

"the results of this study stress the risks.

"In order to avoid such health problems in the future, along with the spiralling costs of any related treatment, I would advise people to stay clear of tongue piercings."
