smiling bright in every picture
This is how you do it
When I was twelve and entered the brace phase, I also entered the phase of closing my mouth in pictures. I felt a desperate need to hide my braces in every snapshot. I was over the moon when it was taken out – you don’t get ‘em any straighter than this – but now there was a new problem: yellow teeth. This resulted in pictures with a closed, smiling mouth from then on. And if someone asked me to smile, I just kept my mouth closed and pulled up the corners of my mouth some more. Seriously ladies, I have my ways of making sure I look fine in pictures in the end. But I have to admit: I was crazy jealous of the girls in all those Instagram pics, with their amazing, spontaneous and full of energy smiles.
So, I got my teeth whitened two years ago. I was scared to death. I didn’t want to end up with Donald Trump-like teeth, but I also didn’t want my teeth to fall out one by one. Which didn’t happen, thank God, but sometimes I still catch a glimpse of a yellow tone. And so my obsession with teeth continues…
”But no way will I go back into that chair, drooling all over just to get everything whitened”
I wouldn’t mind them being whiter. But no way will I go back into that chair, drooling all over just to get everything whitened, because I still fear for my teeth falling out. And now there’s a new Colgate toothpaste called Max White Expert White toothpaste. I know, it’s rather a mouthful (no pun intended), but it’s the first toothpaste which contains hydrogen peroxide. It whitens the discoloration on your teeth which is caused by food and drinks. And not only on the surface, but also deep below the enamel. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a Whitening Pen. You can use this to use the gel quickly and directly on your teeth. It takes just a couple of seconds to attach to your teeth and the product starts working immediately. What I find really handy is that you can click the pen onto your toothbrush, so you don’t forget to use it in your daily mouthwash-routine.
You’re probably wondering if it works. As am I. So, I will be testing it. I’ll never say no to whiter teeth. And if you have visibly whiter teeth after using this toothpaste for five days (whoop whoop!) and the pen turns your teeth 3 shades whiter after only three weeks. The deep-rooted discoloration has improved after 4 to 8 weeks. Right. It won’t be long before you only see pictures of me with a great big smile. I can’t wait.
