Tooth whitening Part 2

circle1 yellow plain

So I am two weeks into my tooth whitening treatment, and what do I think? I can sum that answer up in just one word: WOW!

As I pointed out in my first blog about this experience, I am quite a sceptical person, and I did not get my hopes up too high when I embarked on this treatment.

However, I am very happy to admit how wrong I was, because the results so far have been far better than I dared to dream.

Let me ask you, what might be the benefits of a whiter smile?
Added confidence? Yes, I do feel that effect
Smiling more than usual? Yes, I think that has happened too.

Being greeted by other people in a more welcoming way? Again, I genuinely feel as if that has been happening.

And now, how about this for the icing on the cake: I have been offered a fantastic new job! And I am sure the new whiter smile played a part.

In fact, when I went for the interview, I made a point of delivering a beaming grin as much as possible, and clearly it worked as at the end of the interview they simply said: “Right, when can you start?”

Let me backtrack for a moment and tell you a bit more about my treatment.

Wasim sent me home with my moulds for my teeth, along with the whitening solution and clear instructions.

They must stay in your mouth for a minimum of four hours, so the easiest thing is to put them in just before bedtime. For the first couple of nights I was conscious of the moulds in my mouth, and I knew what it must feel like to step into a boxing ring before going a few rounds with Mike Tyson.

But that feeling wore off after just a couple of nights, and in the end I forgot I had them in my mouth.

There was only one minor side effect, which I had been warned about. On one occasion I had a sharp, sensitive pain that came and went during the day. No problem, Wasim’s team advised me to fill the moulds with the sensitive toothpaste I had been supplied with for one night instead of the solution. No more pain after that.

I didn’t expect rapid results, but within just a few days my wife and two children were gobsmacked at how white my teeth looked, and said how nice they looked – and they weren’t just humouring me. My mum keeps laughing when she sees me, but in a good way!

As the days have gone on, I have enjoyed looking in the mirror and seeing how nice my teeth look as they become whiter. I may not be Simon Cowell, but I do feel like they have given me an X-Factor, and as I said earlier it certainly helped my confidence at the job interview.

Wasim is pleased with the results too, which is encouraging news, and I am looking forward to my next appointment so that I can hear what his next course of action will be.
