Suspicions are confirmed upon scrolling to the bottom of the site, where Celebrity Sexy Teeth is promoted once more for good measure alongside this subtle arm-twister: “For women wanting to enhance their appearance, a good teeth whitener is a must!”

But I thought Mr. Right, and my ass-pinching boss, would love me no matter what I looked like?
