My Teeth Hurt !!


Whiter? Yes or No?? These are before and after pictures of my choppers and they should look whiter because I laid in a chair for 2 hours and low and behold . . . got them whitened yesterday. To my despair, it hurt like the devil! I have what's called "recession" (hopefully I spelled that right) but apparently its where my roots are exposed under my gums (imagine that with my big ole chompers right?) Until a few moments ago, I haven't really even been able to talk about my day because it was disturbing really. Painfully, blissfully disturbing. Here's my account.
The day was lovely . . . you walk into this huge house on Roswell Road, they greet you with cosmetic smiles of veneers worth millions! There's leather sofas, low lighting and mimosas on the table (not sure why), muffins, fresh fruit (from whole foods), bear skin rugs and hard wood floors, Chandeliers too (oh, and crystal glasses to drink fresh water with lemon wedge). Nice! It's a freaking spa yall . . . . totally rockin'!! This is no dentist office for sure, it's more like a dental fairy land.
I filled out the paper work. Went to my little cubby (exam area) and had my photos made - ok, the cubby (exam area) had a dang water fall on the wall (large) with the logo of the place behind the water trickling down it (lovely). On the ceiling there was a 47" flat screen plasma tv to look at while laying in the LARGE exam chair. Then, attached to the actual chair was another flat screen tv with awesome Bose surround sound head phones to accompany. They had a laminated 2 page 960 channel television set so you can choose what station you want to watch (movies, local and music) while you are being "worked on." SUPER . . . I'll take it! I chose Food TV for a short while and then "Spa Music" when they started the gum burning process (details to follow).
Ok . . . so . . . . . . . I'm laying there in bliss (or what at this moment is bliss) and then the massage therapist comes in . . . . THAT'S RIGHT . . . the MASSAGE THERAPIST . . . she's cute too yall! (In fact, everyone in there is beautiful in the worst way - dressed to the "9's" and cosmetic out the yanger and nice - nice beyond anything). So, she comes in with a hot wrap for my neck scented with lavender and these little cloths scented with lavender and says "I'll be back in a few for your massage ok sweetie." I was like . . . . "yer joking right?" While my whitening process was being done, she did in deed come back and massage my arms and fingers with lotion and attempted to relax me during the second of whitening processes I was undergoing which also, indeed, was starting to burn the almighty holiness out of my teeth and gums.
When all is said and done, I have whiter teeth and today I am fine. I brought home the impressions of my teeth and the year supply of gel to continue the process at home each week to continue getting great results with prescription stuff to help me feel no pain (yeah right). I hope THAT stuff works. I would truly recommend it to you because the experience was so lovely and not very expensive at all but if you have recession, check with your normal dentist before making the appointment.
Happy smiles!!
