honestly I would do much more - this is a nice portrait of a nice model looking very natural.
If you do more you risk that this becomes visible and ruins the nice natural look. The teeth whitening I would even take back a bit as they start to look a little uneven.
The only thing I could really think of is to eventually reduce the reflection on the nose a little more (slider in the skin section).
I find the blue in the background growing out of her head a little disturbing - but this is beyond PP.
Overall a very nice picture and model that does not really need a lot of PP :-).

MacSass,
Thank you for your constructive reply -
The blue above her head is a shadow from a winter decoration on the curtain in the background, and I could probably clone tool or selection tool w/content aware (EDIT: I ended up using the color replacement brush and mixer brush to get rid of the shadow) that out of the photo in Photoshop, as well as diminish the shine on the nose, but I'm not sure I will do that to the nose (EDIT; diminished it just a bit with mixer brush). EDIT: lightened her eyes closer to their true color; the bounce flash doesn't put the light in eyes as strong, so those shots don't always show eye color as well, so enhanced them a bit.
She was not feeling 100% the day I visited but I won't go into detail on that. The woman in the photo is from my home town, and an aspiring movie actress.
Again, just a bounce flash shot in a kitchen. She was pretty happy with the pp photo when I emailed it to her.
