Hey Guys,

Just a quick post today because as I’ve got loads to do – going to Glastonbudget this weekend and my car just failed it’s MOT :s


Anywho, what I wanted to talk about in this short ‘n’ sweet post is how to get white teeth – or more specifically how my friend Diane got her teeth whitened from the comfort of her own home.

White Teeth

Personally, I’ve never really worried too much about my teeth. They aren’t perfectly white, but they’re not yellow either. I brush twice a day and visit the Dentist twice a year and that’s about it.

Diane however (and I’m sure she won’t mind me saying this) has always been a bit of a perfectionist and takes a lot of care over her appearance – not that she needs it (I’ve seen her without make-up on and she still looks stunning!).

But for Diane, anything other than a pearly white smile just isn’t good enough and she’s spent a small fortune over the years getting her teeth whitened at her dentist. I think she said it cost around £300 – £400 a session.


Anyway, a couple of days ago, she popped round for a cuppa and during our chat, she told me that she’d found a neat new product that whitens her teeth without going to the dentist and much more cheaply.

I always love to hear about new products and business ideas and was intrigued to hear more so I asked her how it worked.

She went on to say that she was sent a kit, which contained putty so that she could make an impression of her teeth, which she then posted back. A week or so later, she received bespoke trays (a bit like a gum shield), to which she adds a whitening formula and then wears them for around 2 hours a day until her teeth are the desired shade.

To me, it sounded like a cool idea but a lot of effort to go to just to make your teeth whiter! But I suppose for people with very yellow teeth, this type of ‘cosmetic home dentistry‘ has the potential to make them feel less self conscious and better about themselves – and in my book anything that makes folk happier is good :)
