We’d like to acknowledge some of our D.C. public servants who have displayed great Capitol Hill style as representatives of the people, but not in terms of politics, the only debate we’d like to ignite is based on who has the best smile. We’d simply like to recognize the best and brightest D.C. smiles, since healthy, attractive smiles are what we’re all about. Without further ado, here is our list of the 10 best smiles in Congress:

Capitol Hill Style With A Smile

Senator Kelly Ayotte

Senator Kelly Ayotte brought her great smile to D.C. upon winning a seat as junior U.S. Senator from New Hampshire in 2010.

Ayotte currently serves on committees that include Armed Services, Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs, Aging and Commerce, and is the Ranking Member of the Armed Services Subcommittee.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has been showing her Capitol Hill style for quite some time.

So there you have it, our round-up of the 10 best smiles on Capitol Hill. However, since this is an oral surgery blog we’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that those stellar smiles wouldn’t shine nearly so brightly without good, regular dental care. Another thing our readers should know is that those bright, Capitol Hill style smiles aren’t just for politicians. Anyone can have one with the help of a highly qualified oral surgeon.
