Beauty Bytes: Getting Whiter Teeth Fast and Easily!

No matter whether you are 14, 45, or 74, whiter teeth makes you look better and gives you more confidence, regardless of what sex you are. You eat or drink things that discolor your teeth or maybe you are afraid of your dentist.. but having healthy teeth is so incredibly important to your overall health. Having white teeth not only makes you look healthy, it makes you look younger and more confident.

Here's two ways you can do this quickly and easily. One costs less than $50 and does take a bit of effort. The other costs less than $5 and just depends on how often you work on brushing your teeth (yes that's how simple it is.)

I had a chance to try the Luster Premium White At Home Tooth Whitening Light System
This at-home whitening kit includes everything you need to get up to 6 shades whiter in 1 hour. After reading all the directions and getting the device assembled, make sure you read the instructions. It's a tight fit for the batteries and so it might takes you a bit to get them all in there. Also getting the light to turn on easily is a trick so make sure you don't look at the light when you are doing that (not so great for the eyes). Shine it down into the sink or counter to see if it's on. If it's not glowing, check the batteries installation.

This treatment works in about 2 minute increments. First you rinse your mouth with the included Accelerator Mouth Rinse, then carefully brush on the whitening gel on each tooth you want whitened. Note that this device won't hit the teeth in the back so don't try and use it there. Make sure each tooth is dry when you apply the gel. Smile big, pulling your lips back from your teeth so that you don't get the gel on your lips or the mucus membrane of your mouth. After painting the gel on each tooth, allow the gel to dry for about 20 seconds. After you have applied the gel to the teeth surfaces and the crevices in between teeth, place the device in front of your teeth, wrapping your lips around the device. Make sure you watch a clock or timer so that you don't lose any time by pulling this out of your mouth. Two minutes might not seem long but it can be.

Each time you want to do another 2 minute treatment, you must go through this 3-step process each time (rinse, brush gel on, and apply the light).

I used it and found that it worked nicely once I got the hang of it. However holding the device for 6 x 2 minute segments gets old so maybe you might want to do this over 2-3 days if you get bored. Try watching TV and don't bend your head down while doing this because any saliva might drip out (note the word might).

I have pretty white teeth and I found it was as effective in 6 treatments as my DDS teeth whitening trays and the gel wasn't as sensitiziing which is good for those with sensitive gums or teeth.The mouthwash is helpful too and it keeps your teeth white and helps spur on the whitening process hence trying to do this over a couple of days might see this be an easier trick.


The kit which retails for about $40.00 includes the following.
Activating Whitening Light Similar light technology as used in dental offices
Accelerator Mouth Rinse
(8 fl oz./236 ml) Enhances efficacy of the professional strength whitening gel.
Super Whitening Gel a whitening gel agent that is often by dentists and used with the light device
(.34 fl oz./10 ml)
AAA Batteries (4)
Device stand for storage of light when not in use

Colgate's ProClinical line of toothpastes are as close to perfect as one can get. There are three of them in the line: Daily Renewal for enamel (ProMinerals complex. Fortifies enamel, and leaves gums feeling rejuvenated after every brushing), Daily Cleaning. (with Prophy Silica micro-buffers, an ingredient similar to what dentists use. This advanced formula fights plaque with regular brushing.) and Daily Whitening (ProLuminex crystals. Contains clinically proven technology to remove discoloration and surface stains and help prevent new stains from forming for whiter teeth.). I received one of each tube and I have even purchased more of these toothpastes. I am very impressed with the Daily Whitening toothpaste. I don't feel the crystals but I have noticed that my teeth are whiter without any sensitivity and despite the red wine and other foods consumed on vacation(s) and at home, my teeth are really white and it's nice to have white teeth that make you want to smile.

How to use? Just brush your teeth-- I brush mine at least 2-3 times a day (courtesy of invisalign). You might want to switch out to the Daily Cleaning at night once you get your teeth white enough.

Each toothpaste retails for less than $5 and it lasts for more than a month (and I brush a lot).The toothpaste rocks my dental world and it should be in your bathroom too to help you get white teeth. I have never seen a toothpaste whiten as well as this one does.

Worth the cost and if you hit Colgate ProClinical's website, ifyou register, you can print out $1 off coupons. Worth the registration.

This is one product that's staying in my house and I am happy to recommend it to everyone because it works so well for me!
