You may have read last week a case study about my first encounter with tooth whitening.
Since then I am pleased to report I have had a very pleasent and actually quite enjoyable time whitening my teeth.
At first the though of wearing the mouth guard at night is a little daunting, thoughts such as will it be comfertable? is it safe? will I swallow it? run through your head, as well as the excitment of the process making your tummy feel funny!
It is very simple to do, you have to keep the whitening tubes in the fridge to keep the solution active so a good tip is to take it out of the fridge in advance so it is not too cold when it comes into contact with your teeth.
You then apply a small amount in each tooth area. So that I could see the difference I did the top set of my teeth first, this also makes it easier with the thought of only wearing one mouth guard. There is a small dot on each tooth placing so you know how much gel to put in.
You then just fit the mouth guard onto the teeth and it sticks into place, whilst spreading the gel over the teeth with your finger to spread it out.
I did this every night for 2 weeks and actually really enjoyed wearing the mouth guard in the end as I do suffer from stress and tend to grind my teeth, so actually the mouth guard was doing two jobs, I may even continue to wear it on stressful nights.
After 2 weeks I can certainly see the difference. My shade has now gone above a B1 which is the whitest level. I will now continue to do the bottom set over the next few weeks.
Some people experience sensitivity but rest assured my teeth were fine. I think it depends on the person. I would really recommend it to anyone thinking about having their teeth whitend, and Michelle my dentist has been wonderful throughout each course of the treatment.
