Teeth Whitener Gel – What You Need To Know

Kathy spent the better part of her young adult life either refusing to laugh without awkwardly covering her mouth, or shyly displaying her “Mona Lisa” look by only slightly smiling at her companion’s humorous comments.  Why? Since her early 20s, Kathy’s teeth had taken on this horrid gray cast and so had her outlook on life. Unfortunately, Kathy is much like 85 percent of today’s population who either don’t know about, don’t believe in, or simply haven’t tried teeth whitening gels.

What began as a surface graying of her teeth in her late teens that could be removed by using whitening toothpastes soon developed into a more severe problem on which whitening toothpaste or rinses had limited brightening results. Kathy began to isolate herself from her friends, afraid that they would believe her darkened teeth condition was caused by poor dental hygiene. In reality, Kathy brushed three times and day and was constantly rinsing her mouth with salt water or fluoride.

Finally, at her wits end, Kathy asks her dentist how she could get the gray out of her teeth. Recognizing her discomfort, Kathy’s dentist told her there were several ways she could whiten her teeth, but she may want to begin with a gel whitening system that would give her quick results at a price that wouldn’t put a terrible strain on her finances. Expecting to hear the process would take months and cost far above what she could afford, Kathy was pleasantly surprised to hear that the whitening gel system would be less than $600 and she would see immediate results.

Wanting to make sure Kathy understood all her alternatives, her dentist also told her that she may want to consider a tray-based gel system she could use at home. She could either have the tray molded by him to fit her mouth, or she could try a one-size-fits-all mouth tray and gel kit purchased from her local drug store. He cautioned her, though, that some of the trays were improper fits and often failed to provide the same results she could get from a tray made especially for her.

What Kathy did next was life altering—she made the decision to use the whitening gel and from that day forward she had a whole new outlook on life. Kathy’s smile was radiant, and her face beamed when listening to the anecdotes and stories shared by friends and family. Kathy had a new confidence, a bounce in her step that wasn’t there before, and she rarely failed to flash one last smile in the foyer mirror before going out for an evening on the town.

In just two short sessions with her dentist using the whitening gel system designed especially for her, Kathy was able to maintain its effects by follow up gel treatments at home in the months to follow. With each treatment, her results were better and lasted longer. If she had been especially bad, consuming more soda, tea, red wine, and coffee, she didn’t spend the next week covering her mouth. Instead, she simply slept that night wearing her gel-treated mouth guard and woke the next morning with her new white smile.
