Dental Hygeine: Day 12

I try not to be a vain person. I can't be bothered with makeup. I keep myself clean and smelling good, but it doesn't seem necessary to fit in with the modern American standard of beauty.

Then why am I considering teeth whitening?

The fact is, since I've been at this almost two weeks, my teeth do look a lot better. Add to that the fact that I don't smoke, I don't drink coffee or soda, and I already have a reasonably stain free smile.

But, years of being hard on my teeth show. I have one chip in the front from an accident in high school. One of my other front teeth has been chronically plagued with a deterioration that no-one knows the origin of, and therefore I have a cap there now which is slightly off-color from the rest of my teeth, and just slightly the wrong shape. (Although the dentist that put it in did a reasonably good job with it).

I would like for my teeth to look better. Particularly now that I am being so good to them.

I am not willing to shell out too much though. I guess it's time to look into inexpensive whitening methods. I will keep you informed as this idea kicks around in my head. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.

** Daily Report for yesterday **

All good. No bleeding yesterday, so I think at this point bleeding is more a factor of how I floss, not that I floss.
