I love my coffee black and my wine very red (I tell myself it’s good for me). With favorite drinks like those, my teeth take a beating. I do my best to brush them as recommended, but definitely do not floss or rinse as much as I should. When I was in high school, I tried whitening strips. I liked them but they hurt my teeth a lot. They made my teeth super sensitive and my mouth tasted super metallic for days. After high school, I went through an “at-home” phase. Instead of buying products to take care of my ailments, I would find stuff around the house. I would make lemon juice and honey face masks. I put mayonnaise on my hair. For my teeth, I did a hydrogen peroxide, baking soda rinse and brush combo that really did great things. I stopped that eventually and I’m not sure why. Now, with age, countless glasses of red wine, and far too much Starbucks, my teeth are not as pearly white as they used to be. That’s why I was so happy to try out the Luster Pro Light Dental Whitening System, Power White Deep Stain Eraser toothpaste, and Smile Illuminator Instant Whitening Kit.
