Consumers Choose Best Celebrity Smiles in New Poll

FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It’s award season in Hollywood and there’s no better time to gauge a true measure of star power on the red carpet—the high-wattage celebrity smile. Water Pik, Inc., maker of the Waterpik® Water Flosser, surveyed consumers nationwide to determine which celebrities merited a well-deserved award for best smile.

“Most people don’t understand that a healthy, beautiful smile is about more than just your teeth and gums”

The Water Pik poll asked Americans to name the best celebrity smiles in three categories—best female smile, best male smile and best couple smile—and tallied responses by gender and by the top votes overall. And the results are in!

The Overall Awards for Best Celebrity Smile go to:

Best Female Smile: Jennifer Lopez
Best Male Smile: Denzel Washington
Best Couple Smiles: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

All voters, whether they were men or women, agreed that Denzel Washington has the best men’s smile, with George Clooney second. Will Smith and Bradley Cooper rounded out the field of the top four finishers.

The four most popular female celebrity smiles belong to Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston and Anne Hathaway. Jennifer Lopez was most popular among women voters, with Anne Hathaway’s smile most popular with men.

The couples who earned the most votes for best combined smile were Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt; Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds; Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck; and Stacy Keibler and George Clooney. Brad and Angelina got the most votes from male voters, with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds coming out on top with women.

Water Pik commissioned the poll to remind consumers that a beautiful smile is a healthy smile.

“Most people don’t understand that a healthy, beautiful smile is about more than just your teeth and gums,” said Dr. Chris Kammer, founder and past president of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health and founding member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. “Your oral health has a direct impact on your overall health. If your gums are inflamed, that inflammation can have a negative impact on your heart health, your circulation, even your sexual health. Flossing, and particularly water flossing, will make your teeth and gums look better, but it will also make you a healthier person.”

Waterpik® recently introduced a new product called Complete Care, a combination of the Waterpik® Water Flosser and Sensonic® Toothbrush, which is clinically proven to be up to 70% more effective than a leading sonic toothbrush. Complete Care gets to those hard to reach areas deep between teeth and below the gumline where plaque and stains tend to collect and make a person’s smile dull and dingy. Waterpik® Complete Care can give a person a cleaner, healthier, and more attractive smile. Maybe even a Hollywood smile, just like the movie stars, and all for less than a hundred dollars. The extra bonus—it will help improve your overall health.
