What does Teeth Whitening have to do
with Weight Loss?

We’re going to take a little different approach to the topic of teeth whitening, today. Deanna, who handles PR for Positive Dental & Vision is going to address this from her perspective, with professional comments from Dentist Dr. Dave.

There are a number of options out there for teeth whitening. Some have validity, others, frankly, don’t. Twenty-one years ago, I (Deanna) decided that I wanted to whiten my teeth.

Dr. Dave took an impression of both top and bottom of my teeth. He then made custom trays, which held the bleaching gel. I would put the gel into the trays, and wear them while I slept. I did this for about two weeks.

I loved the results.

Now, because I did then, and still do, drink both hot and cold tea, along with red wine, I would need to use the trays again. I have found through the twenty some years of bleaching my teeth, I need to use my trays about twice, maybe three times a year.Each time only for a couple of nights.

Here is the thing.

I’m going to share something with you, to make a point. As the PR Director for Positive Dental & Vision, and a Keynote Speaker I’m always meeting new people.  Invariably, the first comment that new acquaintances make when we meet is about my beautiful teeth.

I can thank Dr. Dave for making my teeth whitening trays. I say this not to say look at me, yet that is exactly what I’m saying. Look at my beautiful white teeth. Yes, I occasionally, maybe twice a year, do a touch up. In my home, when I feel like I need it. I do use a toothpaste that helps with sensitivity. That’s it!

Teeth Whitening and First Impressions

We have one chance to make a first impression. Professionally and personally, I can’t imagine not making the choice to whiten my teeth. Yes, I turned to a professional. I don’t ask my grocer how to invest my money. I don’t go to the mall to whiten my teeth.

From personal experience, it’s worth it. I’ve said from when I started this twenty one years ago, next to my parents putting me in braces, this is the next best thing that has ever happened for my teeth.

Dr. Dave also says that everyone’s teeth are unique to them. It’s important to remember that not everyone’s teeth will turn into piano keys. It’s a gradual process.
