In high school I was on my school's marching band and color guard team. We had an approximately 10 minute long show that we practiced and rehearsed day in and day out until the big day of the competition in the faraway land of Indianapolis, Indiana. While my friend was rehearsing a toss on her rifle, instead of catching it the way she had always practiced the wind blew it and it ended up coming down on her head. Specifically, her tooth. It knocked her tooth right out, and she was whisked away.
Many people feel self-conscious because their teeth are less than white than they would like. But there are many new treatments and products can keep us all smiling, even through the tough times.Many of these methods can be done in the comfort of your own home, and here are some of the most effective teeth whiteners and brighteners to ensure that your smile is as beautiful as you can imagine.
From strips and trays to toothpastes, there are tons of options for teeth whitening, but you may find yourself wondering what really works. Most of the options though, will work as long as you choose the right one for your teeth. Here are a few of the things that you should know before you decide on the best whitener for your smile.
It can pretty much be blamed on time eating, and since there is nothing we can do about either of those factors, you can pretty much count on your teeth losing their white sheen unless you take an active role in whitening. In addition, as you age, the enamel on your teeth becomes thinner while your teeth are also discolored by various liquids leading to darkened teeth and yellowed smiles.
Most whiteners include peroxide, and since it is safe-for-the-mouth it is the best bleaching agent for tooth care. Though this method is very effective, you should be aware that it can lead to temporary sensitivity.It is a good idea to whiten at home as long as your mouth is generally healthy and you have met with a dentist within the last year or so.
But there are a few people that should not whiten at home. First, those who have extremely sensitive teeth, second anyone with fillings on their front teeth, and third those whose teeth are grey, not yellow. Bleaching teeth with these issues will not be successful.Before you decide to bleach your teeth at home, talk to your dentist and make sure that you are a good candidate. It would be rather disappointing to start bleaching your teeth at home only to find out that your mouth isn't a good match for the process.
