Dr. Harold Katz: Dentist To The Hollywood Stars

  By Dr. Harold Katz
  Founder, California Breath Clinics

Because the Los Angeles branch of his California Breath Clinics is situated right next door to the 20th Century-Fox Studios, over the years Dr. Harold Katz has helped many well-known actors and celebrities with their oral health problems - especially those filming scenes that involve extensive smooching and extreme close-ups.

When Dr. Katz first opened Los Angeles office, he was quite surprised by some of the names on his appointment book. These names included the young, restless, bold and beautiful stars seeking to instantly eliminate years of bad breath before rushing off to their numerous Soap Opera kissing scenes.

"Throughout the day or night, during a break in their schedules," Dr. Katz explains, "many a star would run into my office to grab some TheraBreath® Oral Rinse or Toothpaste to give to their co-star whose bad breath was interfering with their concentration. One starlet wanted a box of TheraFLOSS® because her macho leading man had one itsy bit of lettuce stuck in his teeth and it made her laugh at the most inopportune times!"

According to Dr. Katz, aside from the challenge of constantly maintaining sweet smelling breath, stars are very concerned that their teeth look as brilliant as possible.

"Unfortunately, many of these celebrities whose careers depend on looking fantastic 24/7 have damaged their teeth by over-bleaching." Dr. Katz continues, "and to make matters worse, many of them have capped their teeth. Sadly, at the present time, there is no bleaching system that can change the colour of porcelain caps. Strips, trays, gels, gum - nothing on the market can help them!"

Many of these celebrities have also severely irritated their gums and weakened their tooth enamel through years of constant whitening with acidic mouthwashes and peroxide-based processes. They're all searching for a natural, safe way to whiten their teeth that is harmless and convenient.

"The TheraBrite PLUS System has become very popular on the Hollywood circuit," Dr. Katz concludes, "because it's made of all natural ingredients, contains no harsh chemicals and involves only brushing and oral rinsing. For the stars, that means no more visits to the whitening salon or the dentist. Now, Hollywood is back to smiling and smooching without the worry!"
