White Teeth!

I was toying with the idea of whitening my teeth for awhile now.

I’m neither a smoker nor a coffee/tea drinker, and I don’t have obvious stains. But my teeth are far from being white.

So as I was getting my teeth cleaned, I decided to go ahead and whiten them. I mean why not? It’s safe, painless, I get a free hand massage and I get to watch TV during it.

I opted to watch Seinfeld, and while laughing at three episodes my teethed were UV’d to whiteness.

Of course, the results were not obvious. I did not see the difference till the second morning, a very slight difference.

I don’t regret doing it. BUT I now know why I shouldn’t have done it.

I’m allowed only WHITE food and drinks for 48 hours. For a picky eater like me this was TORTURE!!

One, I couldn’t have my morning hot chocolate. That’s a crime. People were punished for my mood!
Two, I couldn’t eat chocolates. Only white chocolates, which are NOT chocolates any way! I was going around ranting and hallucinating like a deprived druggy!
Three, I couldn’t have my orange juice at lunch, the only healthy contribution to my diet!
Four, somehow suddenly I was craving red sauces (margarita and arabiata), fresh oranges, plums, strawberries, minted teas, I even wanted to have plain ketchup!

But because of the white food restriction, I drank water. A full 0.5 L bottle a day!!! And I discovered the flavoured Volvics (hence how I managed to drink the full bottle!) which I could see becoming a habit with me! Finally some water in my desert!

Now did you see my new smile? :)
