Copy the layer, zoom in to part you're working on, and use the quick mask tool with a medium brush with harder edges. Paint the mask on the part you want to adjust. Turn off the quick mask, and voila, you have your selection. One more step before you make the adjustments, as what you have now is a protected area...is to invert the selection. After inverting, adjust away and only the selected area is affected. Same basic idea as your selection, but IMO, a little quicker route to get there that doesn't require as meticulous a method of selection. I use a little quicker method for the selection.

Select the area around the teeth with a simple elliptical marquee, go to image > adjustments > hue & saturation, and at the top of the hue & saturation dialog box, there's a drop down box that's set to master. Change it to 'yellows', then desaturate away and lighten as needed! This is much quicker, as the selection doesn't have to be very complex - in general, nothing inside the mouth is going to have a yellow color that you want to keep that way. Selecting the yellows means that it doesn't affect any other portion of the mouth as it is generally some shade of red.
