• Best Teeth Caring Methods For Adults

  Posted on September 22 2015

  Proper oral hygiene is a must when wanting to keep a bright, white, healthy smile throughout adulthood. In the busy world we live in today, our teeth can sometimes be neglected, this neglecting commonly leads to cavities and even gum disease - both of which can can be easily avoided by adding the following points to your routine.

  1. You should be brushing your teeth at least 2 times a day with a fluoride based toothpaste as this will remove the nasty plaque which is the main cause of tooth decay.
  2. Secondly you should be flossing daily, whilst brushing with a fluoride base toothpaste will remove all the 'easy to get to' plaque, flossing will remove the plaque stuck in between your teeth and in your gum-line. Failure to do so can lead to the plaque hardening and becoming tartar. Perhaps your reading this article a little to late and tartar is already starting to form? In this case we recommend please seeing your dentist as soon as possible as tartar can only be removed by a professional in-chair dental cleaning.
  3. Be cautious and limit the amounts of sugary / sticky / starchy foods. 
  4. Schedule a dentist appointment regularly or as recommend by your local dentist for professional checkups and cleanings.

• Why You Should Smile Even When You're Not Happy!

  Posted on April 23 2015

  Yes it's true, fake smiling can boost your mood! Scientists have documented that smiling releases dopamine and serotonin in the brain, dopamine and serotonin both spark a feeling of happiness. In other words, if you're ever feeling down, annoyed or stressed you can simply improve your mood by throwing on a fake smile, perhaps even give it a try now and see you feel any better! 

  This has been backed up by a study done by the University of Kansas, in this study people were given a series of stressful and challenging tasks whilst holding actual chopsticks on their mouths to form a smile (yes it doesn't sound too comfortable does it). Another group of participants were asked to maintain a smile while completing the same stressful activity. And please note, non of the subjects were told what the study was actually for! When physiological responses were compared with the third control group doing the same stressful task, both genuine and chopstick-induced smilers had lower heart rates and faster cardiovascular stress recovery than the non-smiling controls...crazy isn't it!

• 3 Ways You Are Sabotaging a Whiter Smile

  Posted on March 25 2015

  When it comes to home teeth whitening, here are 3 ways you could be limiting your results:

  1. You rely on a whitening toothpaste. If you haven't already learnt this, whitening toothpastes are generally just disappointing. They can claim to be whitening without actually containing any bleaching ingredients whatsoever. That's because they often just contain silica, a scrubby ingredient that removes the stains on the surface of your teeth but not the ones in the enamel. Meaning you won't see any improvements with those decade-old coffee stains. 

  2. You always brush your teeth with toothpaste before using BrighterWhite. Brushing your teeth before you whiten can do more harm than good. If you insist: Don’t use fluoride toothpaste, the reason being as it sticks to teeth and blocks peroxide from getting inInstead, stick to a fluoride-free toothpaste prior applications. You should, however, floss before whitening as it removes plaque, which also prevents bleach from penetrating - ultimately enhancing results.

  3. You bleach right before a boozy party. You've got some downtime before a boozy wine-and-grub party, so it's the perfect time to get a quick application in to get those pearly whites nice a bright, right? Wrong: Be careful with wine, coffee, tea, and berries while you’re whitening, since hydrogen peroxide makes teeth more prone to staining for up to 72 hours after treatment. If you do find you're in the event where you need to drink wine within 72 hours of an application, make sure you chase each glass of wine with a glass of water. You'll probably thank us the morning-after for that tip also.

• Do Whitening Products Damage Enamel?

  Posted on March 07 2015

  The question we get asked on a daily basis, "Do at-home teeth whitening products damage tooth enamel?" and we are going to get straight to the point, NO. Now obviously we cannot speak on behalf of all teeth whitening products out their but what we can say is that when an at-home teeth whitening product such as BrighterWhite is used as recommended, there will be no enamel damage, removing or stripping.

  For the information geeks, here’s a little more detail:

  The enamel of a tooth is the outside layer of each tooth which is composed of thousands and thousands of micro "rods" that inevitably catch debris and stains as our go about our lives. The active whitening agent hydrogen peroxide is an effective oxidizing agent which works to remove these nasty elements whilst not harming the enamel rods.
