How My Craze for Whitening Teeth Taught Me a Valuable Lesson?

If you were given a choice of getting pearl white teeth, would you say no? I don’t think so. Everyone loves them and which is why there are products that help you get whiter teeth. Of course, nobody would give up on getting a brighter smile for boosting their self-confidence and esteem.

The easiest way to make your teeth white is by brushing with toothpaste containing whitening and polishing agents. Our teeth tend to change to yellow in color with growing age. Keeping them white is a never-ending process. Regular brushing and flossing is a must. Don’t forget to give regular visits to your dentist.

In my college days, I had a craze of achieving a whiter smile. You get such crazes from time to time. The reason was not oral hygiene but the girls in my class ;) I have a good smile but back in those days I wasn’t happy with the color of my teeth. In an attempt to whiten them I used bleaching gels, whitening strips, and countless other whitening products.

I’m unsure when it started but due to nonstop usage of those products, I developed tooth sensitivity. It became almost impossible to eat or drink. For quite some time I suffered from this issue. My craze just went down the drain. That intense pain made me give up that crazy thought of whitening my teeth incessantly.

In the following few weeks, I witnessed a more intense tingling sensation which was unbearable. So finally, after coming to my senses, I went to pay a visit to the dentist. After some checks, he said that I had overdone the teeth whitening job and my enamel had corroded to some extent. By the way, once the enamel is corroded, it cannot be recovered. The damage is done forever. In my case the damage was significant and so my teeth had to be protected by a dental crown. He also advised proper brushing and maintain proper oral hygiene.

The fact is corroded teeth are more vulnerable to cavities. So, the dentist suggested Oracura's Biomed anti-sensitivity toothpaste for better cleaning without triggering sensitivity. I noticed that even though the toothpaste is flavorless, it actually worked. I started to see results from the first day itself. Slowly and steadily, the sensitivity started to wear off. The other surprising fact was that I could see whiter teeth without any pain.

Since then I've been using Oracura Biomed Sensitive Toothpaste. I spent months suffering from sensitive teeth and after using this toothpaste, my perception towards oral care has changed a lot. Now I maintain good oral hygiene. I visit the dentist twice a year as well for a professional check.

The pain and suffering that I went through was the turning point in my life in terms of oral health. I learned the lesson and you should too remember this- stay happy with what you've got. My Craze for Whitening Teeth Taught Me a Valuable Lesson. A valuable lesson that changed the course of my life in terms of oral care.
