Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood have all had it their own way for far too long, now we the fans can at last have their legendary white teeth and smiles for ourselves. A Central Leeds dentist has come out and said that new technology has allowed the price of whiter teeth to come down to everyone’s level. For around 200 pounds you can get a bargain special offer, and have that elusive smile in an hour. The true price is around £400, but in these days of the credit crunch many technicians are offering a special price. It is available in High Street beauty salons as opposed to the dental surgery; this also keeps down the fees. Provided you have fairly nice and healthy gums, the technician can proceed and the session lasts around an hour. You sit in a chair and have a gum shield fitted, this protects the soft flesh around and inside the mouth, a gel is applied to the teeth and an intense, warm blue light is shone on the teeth. This makes the gel agitate the enamel on your teeth, and it gives you that natural white shine and colour that you used to have. It will last for a year or so, and you will need to avoid drinks and food stuffs that contain damaging staining properties. Red wine, coffee, tea and some liqueurs are off the menu, but the sacrifice will be worth it when you look at your new smile in the mirror.
Smiling is one of the most important communication methods we have. More important than any other physical or verbal gesture in making others feel comfortable and welcome. It is also fundamental in forming romantic, platonic and professional relationships. For people who are ashamed of their teeth smiling can be repressed for fear of being embarrassed. Everyone dreams of having the perfect beaming smile with straight white teeth and for those who fall short of this ideal it can be a source of great anxiety.
