Hi I'm Dr. Joe Nemeth, and guess what we're going to talk about today! Teeth
whitening products. Yeah we did a really really interesting experiment with five
different teeth whitening products. We had five of our staff volunteer to
whiten their teeth with various products and we're going to tell you a little bit
about the results of those teeth whitening products that are very very
popular these days. Our first volunteer was Tara and Tara
used something called Auraglow which overall she felt was effective and she
liked it. She felt there was an improvement. Part of it is the use of a
LED light that supposedly helps activate the material and makes it more effective but
there are those who feel that the LED light really doesn't do much of anything
it may be more of a gimmick than reality as far as real effectiveness is
concerned. So here's Tara. Hi, my name is Tara I used
the whitening product Auraglow. Overall I felt like this was a great product I
didn't notice a difference at first the first use but after about the third time
I noticed that this product really was making my teeth a lot whiter just had to
use it for 30 minutes a day you can do it while you're watching TV. I would
recommend this product to really anyone the only thing I did not like was the
size of the mouth guard. It was a little big it is one size fits all so you kind
of have to get used to that. At first I did notice a lot of sensitivity but
after about the second time it wasn't as much as like the normal whitening strips
you can always use some fluoride after or something like that to calm down the
sensitivity by the next day it was normally fine. Other than that it was a
great product. And so our next victim, I mean volunteer is Skyler who is the only
male volunteer that we have today and Skyler is great he does a lot of our
videos actually and so let's talk a little bit about Skyler who used
something called Opalescense. It's a combination of 20%
peroxide and toothpaste Skyler I think thought the peroxide did most of the work
but he'll tell you himself. Hi my name is Skyler and I did the peroxide solution
by opalescence it was 20% peroxide and you put that into a tray and then you
put that on your teeth upper and lower. And then I also used the opalescence
whitening toothpaste and I ended up liking it it tasted it tasted okay it
wasn't great. I definitely felt like it whitened my teeth my teeth were so much
brighter after the first week when I used it. I forgot to use it one night I
used it every other night but at night I went from maybe an hour some nights I
used it maybe three hours. One of the issues that I ran into with it was when I did
the mouth guard you would dip it in hot water and then
it would kind of melt and then you can mold it to your teeth and I actually
molded it improperly and it caused a lot of pain and sensitivity at the bottom of
my lower gum. So just read the instructions before you do it because I
actually didn't. So, it wasn't exactly a pleasant thing to put in every night but
I definitely felt like it whitened my teeth a lot. Next let's hear from Beth.
Beth used a product called super smile tooth whitening kit so when we're
talking about teeth whitening this was her product. You know I think
she had mixed feelings about it it was a little bit of a nuisance to use there's a
part of it where you use a pen to help whiten the teeth and then you have to
keep that exposed for a minute there's a rinse. Anyway, it's interesting
what she had to say so, let's hear about it.
Hi I'm Beth. I did the Supersmile teeth whitening kit. It was not difficult but
it was kind of time-consuming you have to use two different toothpastes one is
an accelerator one is a like a almost like an abrasive kind of toothpaste you
mix those together on the toothbrush and use that and then you have to use a
rinse which tasted terrible. It left my mouth feeling kind of gross I thought it
would be refreshing like a mint or something like that
it was not and I dreaded having to do it. You're
supposed to use it in the morning and at night. It also came with a little paint
on whitening pen that you could take with you on the go. I don't know that I
noticed a really big difference between the before and the after. I have used
other products that I feel were much more effective than this. I don't know
that I would recommend the whole Supersmile kit, if you were going to try
it I would get just the toothpaste and the accelerator that you can buy
separately without having to get the whole kit. That would be my
recommendation, but good luck to you! As far as tooth whitening products is
concerned we have Deborah, but actually what she used really isn't specifically
for tooth whitening. But Doreen who you'll see later did use it for
something else and she felt it did whiten her teeth, so Deborah thought she
would try it. It's called MI paste it is used for
sensitivity. So actually sometimes after whitening, your teeth can be sensitive,
and the MI paste may help to reduce sensitivity. So let's hear from Deborah
regarding MI paste. Hi, I'm Deborah, and I used MI paste. I don't think it made my
teeth much whiter. I ordered trays separately that were very difficult to
use. It says put them on hot water it gives you two pages of directions I
couldn't get the directions right they melted. Once I had custom trays made
it was much easier. I would like to try a different whitening product rather than
this one to see if I could get a better response. I had no difficulty whatsoever
it was very easy to use. So next we have Doreen. Doreen has been with this office
and with me for a long long time longer than anybody else who has been here. So
she volunteered to do the crest whitening strips and she was pretty
satisfied. She said they're very easy to use, they're invisible so the comfort was
good, the ease of use was good and she was pretty pleased with her result and
take it Doreen it's all yours. Hi, my name is Doreen and the whitening product I
use was Crest 3d white strips. Super easy to use. I could wear it when I was
working when I was exercising when I was shopping very very convenient,
undetectable and you put a strip on the top teeth on the bottom teeth for
one hour a day for 20 days. I think it definitely made my teeth brighter
probably whiter and I would recommend it. So let's talk about the results. Skyler
probably got the best results with Tara a close second. Doreen probably was
third as far as her results is concerned. She felt it was very convenient easy to
use. The results maybe not quite so dramatic but nevertheless she liked
it. Beth had mixed feelings about it. Her results were perhaps a little bit better
but the use of it was a little inconvenient so Beth was probably ranked fourth in that
group. And last was Deborah but Deborah was using MI paste which although
worked for Doreen wasn't really meant for whitening so Deborah didn't feel she
really got any result from the MI paste and really wants to try something else.
So guys and gals, ladies and gentlemen who do you think got the best results?
