My Thoughts:

Like many people out there, I have had dental insecurities for many years. Growing up, I have seen countless dentists and orthodontists about ways to improve my smile. Some would recommend braces for six months to even three years at one point. Others said my teeth were great and a couple small procedures or veneers would fix them, but they were very pricey and braces would be off the table if I ever did want them. As I got older and decided to go to college, I did not have the time or extra expenses to invest in the process of fixing my smile, yet I still dreamed of my perfect , whiter and more professional looking smile being a reality someday.

My Smile before Instasmile.

My biggest insecurities with my smile had to do with the spacing between my two front teeth. I also had a small fang tooth at the top, a generational tooth passed down to many of us that didn't match the other side. When I heard of Instasmile's clip in veneers via social media, I knew I needed to check out the company. With graduate school coming my way in the next couple of years, it seemed like the best time to look into improving my smile.

I was thrilled to be able to review Instasmile. I placed my order for the upper and lower sets in Classic A1 through the phone and the customer service team explained that first, an impressions kit would be sent to my home. Once received, I could make a webcam appointment, and they would walk me through it. The impression process was a lot easier than expected. Included in my kit was the putty to mix and the trays to take the impressions. The customer service representative walked me through each step from mixing the putty to holding the trays for as long as needed. Once the impressions were approved they were sent off in the box included for the free re-delivery to Instasmile. Once my impressions were received, an email was sent to me with the expected shipping date of my completed veneers.

My Smile after Instasmile.

Once my veneers arrived I was shocked at how beautiful the coloring was and how perfectly shaped they were to my teeth. They were packed safely with an included case with a mirror inside for easy storage after use. I put them in and they fit with no problems. It was amazing to see myself with a new smile for the first time. It was such a special moment! Immediately I began showing them off to family and friends and they too were thrilled with my results.

The only side affects I have had thus far is minor pain at the bottom of my teeth and a small lisp for the first couple of days I used Instasmile. The lisp is slight and lasts a couple of minutes until my mouth begins to adjust to having my teeth straight. The most common questions people have asked me so far is if I can eat and drink with them and the answer is yes! I have already done both and my teeth look perfect without any staining. It takes a little getting used to at first because like with talking, you are learning how to move your mouth and tongue around the veneers. Once you find your rhythm, you'll be good to go!

My smile hasn't been more beautiful since Instasmile! I truly can't recommend them enough. If you are someone interested in improving the color, appearance, or your overall confidence in your smile, check out the links in this review to the Instasmile website. Their dedication to customer service is wonderful, and the process is so much smoother, less time consuming, and more affordable than the traditional way of veneers or braces. I'm so grateful to the Instasmile team for assisting me through this process and I know you will be too!

6 STEPS TO PEARLY WHITE TEETH

A lot of people desire a set of sparkling white teeth, but when it comes to making the decisions that will help us attain one, we opt for the opposite! Red wine, tea, coffee, all guilty of staining our pearly whites, but we still guzzle them on a daily basis.

That is why we suggest that people research and get familiar with the recommended foods to eat to get pearly white teeth.

We all know the benefits of having white teeth: and just in case you don’t know or might have forgotten, let me remind you. Studies have shown that your smile or teeth are the first thing that someone notices about you and having white teeth not only gives the impression that you are healthy and personally hygienic, they also make you look more successful, more employable, more attractive and even five years younger. This gives you the confidence to smile and proudly display them.

Certain foods are recommended to assist in your pursuit for white teeth, but none will serve as a miracle cure or be more effective than a regimented oral hygiene routine.

Celery and carrots can help in whitening your teeth by washing away food debris while also strengthening your gums.

Cheese. Hard cheese contains calcium that strengthens both your gums and teeth. Cheese also contains a milk protein called casein that can reduce the loss of minerals from your enamel. It has also been noticed that cheese can raise pH – the level of acidity of a substance – of the mouth for some time after eating it, thus, discouraging tooth decay.

Herbs. Herbs such as parsley contain enough chlorophyll that neutralizes bad breath. It is also a source of antioxidants and essential oils that keeps the body healthy. Note however, that excessive consumption of parsley is bad for the health. Another herb that does wonders for the teeth is licorice root.

Oil. The swirling action of oil around your mouth can help to loosen debris in the mouth; consequently, reducing bacteria growth and population in your mouth.

Water. Ensure that you take in enough water every day. Your body needs to be hydrated in order to produce saliva for your mouth. By taking water regularly through the day, you decrease the growth and population of bacteria in your mouth and body.

Green and black tea. They contain polyphenols which suppresses the growth of bacteria. Green tea can promote good gum health as it is anti-inflammatory. Avoid herbal teas as they may contain sugar which is bad for your teeth. You should also consider white tea as it contains some bio-available fluoride.

Since this write-up is about 6 steps you should take to get pearly white teeth, let’s get on with it already.

·        Step 1: Brush and floss your teeth regularly and thoroughly. Although this is an obvious one, many of us however, do not brush or floss our teeth properly. You should ensure that you brush at least twice a day and for at least 2 minutes each. By skipping this step and doing the others you would not be maintaining your teeth.

·        Step 2: See your dentist. Before you apply any special treatment to your teeth, ensure that you visit your dentist and explain what you are planning and why you want to do it. Seeking a dentist’s professional opinion and advice is essential so that you do not end up with damaged teeth.

·        Step 3: Eat foods that whiten the teeth.You should consider buying and eating the following foods as they can naturally whiten your teeth. Such foods include strawberries which contain Malic acid that removes surface teeth discoloration; seeds like sunflower seeds and nuts like walnuts or almonds also remove surface stains by their abrasive texture. Another recommend food to whiten your teeth is onions, they help to prevent plaque from forming on your teeth when your chew them raw; apples are also great and they are recommended for teeth-whitening as their high water content promotes saliva production in our mouths.

·        Step 4: Avoid anything that stains the teeth. Foods rich in sugar should be avoided as they can stain your teeth, making them look discolored. You should also stay away from cigarettes if you wish to have and maintain white teeth. Stay away from sticky, chewy foods and limit the intake of drinks or fruits containing citric acid, as too much of it can lead to enamel erosion

.

·        Step 5: Thoroughly research professional and recommended over the counter whitening treatments. Ensure that you only use products that are FDA approved as safe for dental use.

·        Step 6: Do not eat just before going to bed. Cultivate the habit of eating hours before bedtime. This is because plaque development is usually worse at nights and eating just before going to bed increases this development.

Follow these simple steps and you will be well on your way to that Hollywood smile!

My Thoughts

I have never done a whitening treatment before. I did take before and after photos, but my teeth are kind of icky, so I don't want to show them. I brushed my teeth before doing this. The instructions weren't clear if I needed to or not. The only instructions that came were on the back of the box. The tray already comes filled, you just pop it in the mouth.

Oh my, that was a long 20 minutes. The tray stays in place, but I couldn't stop thinking about needing to swallow my saliva, which probably made me make more saliva. LOL. I watched TV and played on my phone for the 20 minutes. When it was over, I raced up stairs and pulled the tray out, spitting what was left in the sink. I then rinsed my mouth with warm water and used my tooth brush to get the rest of the gel off my teeth. Now it was time to see if the 20 minutes had been worth it.

I am happy to report I had noticeably whiter teeth. I was shocked because my teeth were VERY yellowed. They aren't white yet, but with the other two treatments, I think they could be. My teeth were at least 3 shades lighter when I compared my photos. So even though it was a long 20 minutes and while doing it I wondered if I'd do it again. Yes, I would.  It feels nice to see my teeth less yellow.

Keep Your Smile Healthy with Colgate Enamel Health

From the Company

Your enamel is your first layer of defense for your teeth. It's also the strongest substance in the human body. So why should you pay attention to enamel? Daily life — the consumption of sugary food and drinks — can be rough on tooth enamel and can lead to acid production. Prolonged exposure of enamel to these acids can demineralize and soften enamel, making it rough. It's easier for germs to stick to rough, acid-softened enamel.

A trip to your hygienist can help. You may not realize it, but a typical visit to the hygienist can do more than just clean your teeth. Your hygienist can polish your teeth, which helps smooth your enamel so germs are less likely to stick.

Now you can help maintain the work your hygienist does between visits with Colgate® Enamel Health^™ Toothpaste. Replenish and polish for stronger, healthier enamel.

My Thoughts 

Loosing enamel is one of those things that happen as you get older. I noticed it even before the dentist pointed it out. My teeth started to look almost translucent in spots. I just didn't know what the problem was. It's not just about having a pretty smile either. Enamel is the first layer of your teeth and if it's not properly maintained, it's easier to damage your teeth.  Colgate Enamel Health is specially formulated to help maintain healthy enamel and keep your smile looking great.

There are three different versions of the Enamel Health Toothpaste. The first is the whitening variety. The Clean Mint flavor leaves your breath minty fresh and your teeth sparkling white. The other variety is just as refreshing but also stops sensitivity in its tracks. To go along with the toothpaste, there are also Enamel Health toothbrushes. The bristles on these are softer than other bristles so you don't rub your enamel away when you brush.  I found that these products worked great, and after a few weeks of use, I've noticed a definite improvement in my smile. The enamel has been replenished and I no longer notice any transparency.

  If you want to give the new line a try, you can find it now in retailers nationwide. To learn more, be sure to visit the Colgate Enamel Health website.

Oil Pulling with GuruNanda

GuruNanda Pulling Oil (www.gurunanda.com/oil-pulling)

Until now, consumers who practice oil pulling have routinely reached for something that's already in their pantry -- for example sesame oil, sunflower oil, or coconut oil. But this new product -- which contains a proprietary blend of all three, plus peppermint oil -- is specifically designed for oil pulling, and it harnesses the individual benefits of all three for a more balanced and effective approach.

In short, oil pulling works to rid the body of toxins that build up from poor diet, environmental factors, sedentary and stressful lifestyles, lack of hydration, etc. These oil soluble toxins get "dumped" into the mouth through the salivary glands, and the pulling oil (which is swished for several minutes and then discarded) takes them out. The result is not only cleaner, whiter teeth and fresher breath. Many users report systemic changes that range from weight loss to increased energy and decreased pain.

To read more about the Ayurvedic principles behind oil pulling, and learn more about how this "detox" can contribute to overall wellness, you can visit www.gurunanda.com/oil-pulling.

My Thoughts

Oil pulling is not new for me. I've done it in the past with just coconut oil, which usually made me want to gag when I first placed the thick oil in my mouth and it had to melt down. When I used it, I was always pleased with the results, but hated the beginning part. GuruNanda pulling oil is in liquid format and comes with some peppermint oil for flavor and I'm sure added benefits.

It's recommended to swish the oil through your mouth for 15 minutes. I usually pull while I shower because I am occupied and not really thinking about it. It had been a few months since I'd oil pulled, so I was excited to use this product. The taste was pleasant, though I didn't like the smell. It somehow reminded me of a dentist office.

I used it several times a week and I did notice the same benefits as when I'd used just coconut oil. My teeth began to whiten and places that had been sensitive in the past, were now not as. If I keep it up, my sensitive teeth will no longer be bothered by cold liquids.

GuruNanda oil is made up of sesame oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and peppermint oil. This is a product I will keep on hand to use.

I was also sent their convenient travel cups which are a little smaller than a K-Cup.

Brighten Your Smile with Colgate Optic White

We all want a whiter smile. I know for me, years of coffee and tea have stained my teeth. I have tried some of the advanced whitening kits, but they made my teeth feel sensitive to hot and cold, and many of them just take too much time. When you have four kids, you're lucky to find time to brush at all, let a lone sit around with gel on your teeth for hours. The new Colgate Optic White system is the perfect way to get a whiter smile without any aggravation or discomfort. It works great and doesn't take any longer than your normal dental routine.

There are three products and three easy steps to your whiter smile. First, there is the Colgate  Optic White Toothbrush & Whitening Pen. Just use the pen to apply a layer of gel that adheres to your teeth. You don't have to rinse or wait. Just apply to your teeth and move on with your day. The toothbrush has special bristles that polish your teeth and remove stains for a deep-down shine.

Next there is the Colgate Optic White Platinum, Whiten, and Protect Toothpaste. Just brush as normal and your teeth will be three shades whiter in only a few weeks. As an added benefit, it also seals out new stains before they start. It comes in two varieties including Cool Mint & Crystal  mint that leaves your breath fresh minty fresh and your teeth sparkling white.

Last, but certainly not least, there is the Colgate Optic White Whiteseal Mouthwash. The Icy Fresh Mint flavor freshens your breath and the advanced stain prevention technology prevents new stains from forming.

When used together, these three products are a force to be reckoned with. My teeth are looking whiter than they have since my teen years and I am thrilled with the results. If you want to give the new Optic White line a try, you can find it now in retailers nationwide. To learn more, be sure to visit the Colgate Optic White website.
