How to Keep Bright White Teeth

It is now 2021 and people need to have a certain look to work well.  That is because zoom calls are now happening through half the day and your dental health is showing.  There are pivotal moments in the American Society that suggest that these times are worth going all in for when it comes to teeth whitening.  Some of these occasions are weddings, graduations, and big photoshoots.  These are the times that you will get life-long lasting moments and they will follow you through your entire life.  That is why the tooth whitening industry is getting so big and it is because people are believing that they must have perfect teeth during this time.  I am pretty sure your life will be ok without super bright or perfect teeth, but I do think it is nice to look your best if some photo or video is going to be shown all your life to those who love you.  There are so many options for whitening and I want to go over what  I have experienced to maybe help you get those pearly whites. 

Fashion is always important and so is having white teeth.  I learned this young and when I needed to look fab, I knew I needed brighter teeth.  I was actually in Junior High and she was getting ready for prom in a few weeks.  She purchased some crest white strips and I was all about wanting to get my dating game on point.  This was a huge moment because we had never done it before.  But we ended up putting on both crest whitening strips and found it really weird and jelly.  It was hard to get them placed on our teeth but we did it and finally started the timer.  It took a few days to see any difference, but then it all happened.

The pack was finally done and what I noticed most was the pain in my mouth.  I had super bright and white teeth, but they were sensitive.  That was the term I was told to say, but what they really were was in pain.  I had great-looking teeth and my teeth hurt for days on hot and cold items.  It was most likely a bad thing for my dental health and if it was not for the fact that I was getting married 20 years later I would have never used them again.  But I needed white teeth quickly and the newer version was easier to use, but still gave me painful teeth in the end.  I couldn’t finish out the entire package of crest white strips due to the pain, but I did look good for my wedding.  It worked and worked well, but it hurt like hell.

I suggest using something more natural and charcoal toothpaste was the key to my success.  I have tried regular whitening toothpaste and seen no difference.  But this year with the pandemic I ended up working from home and stepped up my dental routine.  I brushed three times a day and at night I used a whitening charcoal toothpaste. This routine happened for a month and I didn’t feel sensitive teeth at all, but my smile started to get brighter.  I can’t say it worked fast, but it worked and kept me from feeling pain.  That is why it is my best recommendation for getting bright teeth, but not in a hurry.  If you think you may need a different option than by all means please go see your dentist for the best option!
