When I went to see my dentist last, they were running a special for a lifetime whitening treatment for $99. With the impending wedding on the horizon I thought what better time to spruce up my somewhat yellowing teeth? I was fitted for trays that day and sent on my way. Now that I am sitting here with these trays on my teeth, what was I thinking?! This is a very uncomfortable experience and the bleach is turning my gums white. Thank God Groomzilla is not here to witness this scene because I feel like I am chewing tobacco but instead of spitting out dip I am spitting out bleach into a coffee mug.
My Hygienist said only a small amount of bleach was necessary but perhaps I went a bit overkill?
Did anyone else try to whiten your teeth before the big day and have this problem?? And how many of these treatments do I have to do before I start seeing results? I am not sure how many I will be able to get through if the rest are as uncomfortable as the first.
I am also going to need a foot massage from Groomzilla when he gets home from work, apparently the black stilettos I wore to the work conference today were not the most fitting shoes for walking two miles to your destination. Why does looking cute have to be so painful?
Here are some before pictures of my
pearly yellow whites. I know they look pretty white in the pictures but I think the flash helped contribute to that.

I need to whiten my teeth in a BAD way! Wish I had done it before my big day!
I am going to whiten before the big day, but I still have plenty of time. I just started using that Crest 3D white toothpaste - it makes a WORLD of difference. I can actually see that my teeth are whiter after I use it. I'm going to start using the mouth wash and the strips soon toooooo. Anything to aviod trays - they sound painful!
I loved the teeth whitening before my big day and the compliments you get :) Did not love that air hurt my teeth LOL. Get some Sensodyne, some straws (for drinking hot and cold stuff) and I saw a desensitzer in my Lucky shopping magazine I will get us the info. I know its a lot O work and a lil pain but you will love the end results!
Thanks for your feedback ladies! So true Monica, I noticed my teeth were a bit sensitive today when drinking my morning coffee. I will have to try the Crest 3D toothpaste too!! :)
If that's happening, then I guess you did overdo it. If there weren't instructions, you can certainly check over the net for help. Some people apply teeth whitener, then brush their teeth afterward.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
