I went to the dentist yesterday. I have one cavity to be taken care of in three weeks. Well I have always wanted to have my teeth whitenen professionally. I talked to my dentist about whitening procedures that he offered. There were three options that I considered. They are as follows:
Zoom- 2 hour whitening in the office with self follow ups of bleach trays. Cost 500-600 bucaroos. I dont have this in my piggy bank!!
Bleach Trays- They make a mold of your teeth and you wear the trays at night with a bleach solution. Cost-I do not know.
Cresh Whitestrips Supreme-I had never heard of Crest Whitestrips Supreme before. I have heard of Crest Whitestrips. Well the Supreme is the kicker. This is the prescription strength of the strips. They are 3 times stronger than the ones you buy in the store. The cost for these is 60 dollars.
My dentist suggested that I use the Crest Whitestrips Supreme since my teeth are straight and "they are pretty white already" ( I do not agree with this statement but that is what he said haha). He continued to tell me if I was not pleased with the outcome using these strips I could move onto the Bleaching Trays or Zoom and he would credit my account for the 60 I spent on the strips. Well I could not pass this deal up. I started the Crest Whitestrips yesterday. I wear a strip on top and bottom for 30 minutes twice a day. I can wear them back to back if I wish. I will only have to do this for 21 days. After the 21 days, he said to purchase a box at a local store and wear one every 2 weeks to maintain my pearly whites. That is very doable.
I love the idea of having sparkley white teeth and I can't wait for the next 20 days to pass by. I decided to take a picture of my teeth now and after each week to show the progress so that other people can watch my progress with me and if you like what my teeth look like, then you might just invest in these for your own teeth.
DAY 3
Here is the picture after day 3. I am continuing this artcle and adding a second picture here so that you can flip back forth from day 1 to day 3 so that you can see the difference. I sit in the same spot and take the picture with the same camera so there is not difference in background images. I can tell a slight difference, and in 17 days I should have a VaVaVaVoom smile!!
