Hi.
I’m Antonio Centeno.
I’m the founder of Real Men Real Style.
Today, gentlemen I’m going to be answering the question, can whitening your teeth damage
your teeth?
This is a question I’ve been getting quite a bit and it’s something that is – I mean
I understand, a few years back I’d never whiten my teeth and I was asking the same
exact question.
A lot of guys are wondering the stuff you put on there is it going to get into the enamel?
Is it somehow going to make it brittle?
Is it going to make your teeth fall out?
Here’s the thing, as people have been whitening their teeth for a long time.
We go back to the ancient Greeks, we go back to Renaissance Europeans, we go back to just
look through American history.
It is something that people have prized white teeth.
Why?
Because it signals youth, it signals strength, it signals health.
And because of that, it’s something that people for status for, you know, reputation
realizing that people are attracted to that, they have tried and strive to have those type
of white teeth even going as so far as taking others – other people’s teeth and putting
them in their mouth.
Yes, just go read some of these history reports out there.
So, how does that come to this?
So, I can tell you guys that you can avoid damaging your teeth if you simply, I’m going
to give you five tips.
And these tips are really going to minimize risk.
I do want to bring up really quick that it was White with Style, they gave me all these
props all these right here; the solution.
I went through when I tested it, it’s a good company it’s a good product.
I’ll be giving you a code at the end of this video where you can take over and get
this entire teeth whitening kit that you can use ten times.
It’s going to be $28.
So, again, I’ll talk about it at the end of the video, so stick around.
Let me give you those five tips.
So, number one is you need to understand the basics of teeth whitening.
So, how does it work?
So, first off let’s look at teeth.
As you age, your teeth will become less white.
That’s just the way it is.
As a man, your teeth are naturally going to be less white than women’s teeth.
Children have the whitest teeth.
Why?
When we get down actually when you look at the tooth, we see the outside enamel, then
we see inside the tooth we have the dentin, so the dentin is naturally darker color.
Children and children’s teeth, it’s naturally going to have a larger percentage or enamel.
Once we get down into the dentin, men have the largest percentage.
Therefore, as time goes on, so we wear and tear teeth, they naturally start to become
darker.
In addition, the food we eat; coffee, tea, berries, all of these things are going to
slightly color and stain our teeth.
Now, when you’re out there looking at solutions and you’re looking at ways to do this, you’re
going to hear a different -- the number of let’s just say peroxide.
You’re going to hear about carbamide, you’re going to hear about hydrogen peroxide, all
of these things understand it’s important that you focus in on the concentration and
the percentage.
You’re going to see this anywhere from just a few percentage points in certain toothpaste
to up to 45% in some of the higher concentrations and maybe even a little bit higher if you
go into your dentist’s office.
Understand the higher percentage, the care – the more careful you need to be.
Lower percentages, you can actually leave that on for a while and that takes me to point
number two.
So, you need to know what to expect when you are going through the teeth whitening process.
Number one, you can expect more sensitivity.
Number two, you can expect your gums to be a little bit – to feel a little bit on the
gums, if you get that that solution the peroxide solution on your gums.
Now, one thing you shouldm’t expect and you shouldn’t stand for is pain.
If you experience pain, stop immediately it’s not worth it.
But, you can expect, okay, there’s going to be maybe a little bit of sensitivity especially
if your teeth are already naturally sensitive.
Point number three is understand the limitations of whitening your teeth.
So, first off you need to go to a dentist, you need to get your teeth cleaned.
If it has been years, understand whitening your teeth is not going to remove and heal
the plaque.
Also, understand that there is a whole scale on how white your teeth should be.
So, I talked about kids are going to have the most closest to white, but even kids are
not naturally going to have white teeth with the scale which, you know, again, White with
Style gave this one to me and comes nine – I like that they had this right in the kit because
looking at where you’re at, they’re going to say, okay, one treatment for thirty minutes,
you’re going to basically go down seven on the scale so you can go ahead and do that
quick numbers and that’s probably I would say best case scenario.
If you have really dark teeth, you are going to see a big difference when you whiten your
teeth for the first time.
But, as you get closer to white or as you get closer to off-white, it’s going to be
harder and harder to make jumps.
Your teeth don’t need to be bright white, you don’t need perfectly white teeth, you
just want something that is close to the off-white, that’s a natural state that’s going to
be much better.
Understand that match that perfect white is not the end goal.
Okay?
So, set those expectations.
[0:05:01] Point number four, make sure to buy your teeth
whitening product from a trusted resource.
If you don’t trust anybody, maybe your dentist – go to your dentist, it will cost more,
that’s what you’re paying for.
The fact that they’ve got a whole system that they will do this for you that they are
taking on the liability.
When you have a kit come to you, understand, yeah, you’re putting things you got to follow
directions, you got to – you’re taking things into your own hands, but you’re going
to get oftentimes a much better deal.
Look for a product that is ADA approved or AC approved.
Okay, that’s a joke, Antonio Centeno.
The point is if there’s someone out there that you trust and you get a recommendation,
that’s probably a good bet.
Again, I have – I’ve used White with Style, I like their product, it’s a good product.
They sent me two kits I used the kits about a month ago.
I’ve used it twice since then.
It’s good stuff.
I will have to say good to go for them.
Point number five, make sure you follow the directions.
I know this sounds obvious, but so many people don’t do this and one thing I really did
appreciate is White with Style gave me this very simple to follow directions.
And I’ll tell you where a lot of people are going to mess up.
They’re going to use too much of the solution.
They are very clear, you can use this about ten times, don’t use more than 1 ml of solution.
Don’t use more.
You can use less and in fact, if you use half a milliliter, you can probably get twenty
applications which you could use over the period of a year to two years.
They talk about molding the – basically this part is going to go in your mouth, so
and you guys that play football or sports you’re going to recognize this.
You basically put this into a very hot water, you mold it to your teeth, so that’s part
one.
What they’ll also tell you and I bet most people don’t do is you need to go through,
you need to cut part of the guard off.
Why do you want to do that?
Well, because you don’t want that fluid, you don’t want that peroxide solution to
go up on your gums, that’s going to cause the gums to be irritated and you’re going
to be wasting the solution because it should be on your teeth.
When it comes to the blue light, you know, a lot of people don’t use it.
It’s supposed to power up the peroxide and excite it a bit without actually damaging
any of the dentin.
If you have really sensitive teeth you probably don’t want to use this the first time, maybe
use it the second time and go a little bit longer between applications.
But, all of these stuff, it is explained right here in these charts.
Those are my five tips.
Hopefully you learn something.
And if you want the kit, White with Style, let me see, it comes with the solution enough
for ten and with the blue light and with these little Q tips they have Vitamin E. I actually
didn’t ever need to use this.
It comes with a little chart and the directions, everything here.
It’s $28.
Use code RMRS28.
I’m going to link you over to White with Style and you’ll be able to use it right
there.
And, guys I will see you in the next video.
Take care.
