Is it only smoking that causes discoloration?

Since I’ve been using iBright, I don’t think about whitening teeth at the dentist anymore. I just don’t need it. If I’m not happy with their color again, I’ll just go to a tartar photo and use iBright again. And it will happen sooner or later – even if I don’t smoke anymore. Unfortunately, no treatment – whether done at home using available supplements or done in the office by a dentist – is once and for all.

What’s more! The final result of such whitening depends on many things – regardless of whether we do it at home or at a professional. One of them is the initial, “natural” colour of our teeth. Regardless of the discoloration, the bone may have a congenital yellowish colour. Besides, a lot depends on the age – the older the person, the whitening may (but of course does not have to) require more effort. Well, we don’t have any influence on innate qualities and the passage of time. However, there are things that depend only on us, and have a huge impact on the condition of our teeth – both their condition and color. Thanks to them, bleaching treatments may be needed less often or may be less intense. What’s that? What’s that? Of course, our lifestyle – eating habits, addictions, care standards.

Cigarette smoking is an addiction that is harmful to many aspects of our health – including our teeth. I’ve learned this very well and I’m not going to reach for it anymore. But what we eat and drink also matters. Tea, coffee, red wine – this is the first cause of discoloration. Citrus fruits, on the other hand, cause enamel erosion and increase tooth translucency (this means that the yellow dentine is simply visible through them). Adding to this not very careful care – brushing your teeth quickly and simply, not using dental floss – we get a mixture that is a threat to the whiteness of our teeth.

It’s great that we have midfielders like iBright, but it’s still good to know how we can help it work.

How to care for your teeth properly?

So, what’s up, you tested the iBright on yourselves? I’ll tell you that I bought this second package and my impressions were even more positive, so now I’m sure I’ll reach for it 2 weeks before the wedding: )

My adventure with teeth whitening, however, drew my attention to the deficiencies in the previous dental care. And while I know that dazzling white requires the use of proven means – like iBright – once in a while, there are ways to help yourself a little bit every day. Besides, it is not only a matter of appearance and aesthetics, but also the health of teeth, periodontium and gums.

First of all, tooth brushing. It’s like a cliché. But did you know that the best toothbrush can’t be too hard or too soft? Must be of medium hardness. Do not brush your teeth with too much pressure on their surface, as this may expose the dental cervixes and cause hypersensitivity. In addition, brushing your teeth should also include your tongue and, very gently, brushing your gums and palate. This is the only way we can be sure that we will get rid of all food and bacteria.

A good toothpaste should contain fluoride, but it is best not to use bleaching toothpaste every day. Their abuse can rub off on the enamel! Of course, he doesn’t have to. But if you can buy an effective iBright treatment once in a while, why put your teeth at risk?

After brushing your teeth, it’s also a good idea to use a mouthwash additionally – it will handle all the bacteria that the toothbrush couldn’t handle.

And the last thing to do is floss. I finally bought myself one. And beware – it’s used before brushing your teeth – after every meal. Accumulated food leftovers between teeth is the best nutrition for bacteria responsible for caries and cavities! Just remember, if you notice gum bleeding, it means you’re using the thread wrongly. Here, too, you need to be careful and gentle ?

What’s beyond nursing? Well, you can really give up drinking coffee or tea. I know I’m not gonna do it? But I decided to reduce sweets, which also have a negative effect on my teeth. I don’t even mention smoking, because I don’t have that problem, but it’s probably obvious that he’s the number one enemy!

Tooth care is a cliché, but how many of you have mouthwash and dental floss in your bathroom and use them regularly? Well, maybe it’s time to invest in them. ?

iWhite opinion – first choice is not always the best

I wasn’t here for a while, but today I’m coming back to you with a description of my next transitions connected with the search for a way to get white teeth. And I’ll tell you about the two supplements I’ve tried. At one point I was sure I was doomed to spend millions at the dentist’s, but eventually… All right, but one by one: )

Although most of the preparations have completely contradictory opinions and it is hard to choose something just GOOD, I decided first to use a product called iWhite.

iWhite – the first choice is not always the best

I ordered it on the manufacturer’s website (cost 29 €). I saw in price comparison engines that it is possible to buy cheaper in other places, but somehow I think it is safest to buy directly, and not from some online sellers. In any case, the set includes 10 overlays for teeth already containing whitening gel. These are overlays for upper and lower teeth, so they are used for five treatments. It is nice that the gel is spread on them in such a way that it acts on both the external and external surface of the teeth. And you don’t have to do anything big with these overlays. As the leaflet says, I brushed my teeth, put on my overlays and waited 20 minutes. And so for the next five days.

My impressions? When it comes to just using iWhite overlays, it’s really easy to use. A little… problematic for another reason – during these 20 minutes I had a strange salivation and it was difficult to swallow saliva normally. I had to sit with handkerchiefs all the time. Secondly, probably the length of my teeth exceeds some norms, because they simply did not fit into this overlay. I was a little afraid that my teeth would bleach, and the gums would become discolored, creating the effect of unwashed teeth…. Unfortunately, the problem disappeared, because I didn’t really notice any effect of using iWhite for those few days. And the final test was the meeting with my friend. I told Monica some time ago that I was planning to apply something whitening to my teeth. And now, when we saw each other at dinner and I was already after Iwhit’s treatment, after an hour of conversation she asked me when I actually wanted to buy something for my teeth, because maybe she would buy something for herself… She’s my friend, but I was embarrassed to admit that I had already applied something… Well, you had to accept that. The first shot in one product is a misfire. But it wasn’t the end of my rehearsals!

iBright – how positively surprised I was

This time I found a product with a quite similar name – iBright – on my target. I think one of you wrote something about him in your comments. And the Internet says it works. I was, I admit, skeptical, disappointed with such a great Iwhit, but I had to keep trying. Besides, a friend of mine (I finally told her about the last treatment) said that she would try the next product with me.

I also ordered iBright on the manufacturer’s website. The price was higher (55 € per pack) but they have such a cool promotion that you can order two packs for 95 €. I shared the costs with Monika in half and thanks to that we got even better at it: )

We have an appointment with me to try this product for the first time. You can opt for a 5-day or 7-day treatment. We both chose the longer one, although in my opinion Monika has nothing to complain about when it comes to teeth. Okay, so we had a “procedure” on the first, fourth and seventh day. The “procedure” itself – a cliché. Clean your teeth for a minute with one of the tissues from the set, previously greased with a preparatory gel (the easiest way is to wrap your finger in it). Then lubricate the cap with the appropriate gel, attach an LED lamp, put it in your mouth and turn on the lamp. And we keep 30 minutes (on the first day, on the fourth and seventh day only 10 minutes). Everything is described in detail in the leaflet and each preparation is marked accordingly. The hardest part was not to talk for 30 minutes haha. Maybe it’s better to do this treatment alone at home. But we turned on the TV show and it was okay! ; )

The most important thing in all of this was the effects. And I will tell you frankly that after 7 days we were both really delighted with the result! Of course, Monika more – her smile practically shone like a star from the USA. But she also had more well-groomed teeth before. The effect in my case is really satisfactory at the moment – the teeth are white, without discoloration. Maybe I still miss the “Hollywood” look a little bit more, but from what I can see from my friend, one more 7-day treatment with iBright will probably be enough and we will both look like stars: ) I really, really, really recommend it. If you, like me, look in the mirror and regret every smoked pipe, then this is the solution for you! Although, as you can see from us, the product works for people with different sources of discoloration.
