Teri Hatcher & Dr William DorfmanTeri Hatcher & Dr William DorfmanNot that she has been... but there's definitely no excuse for Teri Hatcher to be seen out and about with yellowing teeth or a mouthful of shiny fillings anymore...

As the Desperate Housewives star is romancing a celebrity cosmetic dentist.

The 40-year-old actress was only recently telling the world that she hadn't had sex for four years - putting her lack of love life down to working long hours and her boobs:

"I breast-feed for two-and-a-half years so you don't want to see me out of my bra. That's why I haven't had sex in however many years. I'm shy about the whole thing," she said.

But now that all seems to have changed, after she's been spotted on a string of dates with Dr William Dorfman who fixes teeth on TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition - and does seem to have an impossibly white set himself.

And because his show and Desperate Housewives are put out by the same TV network, his mate managed to wangle a lunch date for the pair and they hit it off.

Teri has been married twice, and divorced her second husband actor Jon Tenney in 2003 - they have a seven-year-old daughter, Emerson Rose, together.
