Beautiful Smile

I should have been a dentist. I have a fascination with smiles, especially toothy white smiles. Paula Abdul has an amazingly bright smile--all toothy and her teeth are crisp, cotton, cloud white!!

I am continually obsessed with whitening my teeth. I use Crest Whitening Strips monthly--Premium--whiter teeth in just three days. I refuse to drink coffee or tea, cola an absolute No-No. I brush with Crest Vivid White and rinse with Listerine Whitening Mouthwash. I know this sounds like an advertisement and it's another reason why my roommate to this day calls me a product whore. But it's true, I'm really obsessed with keeping my pearly whites, just that pearly white.

So in continuing with my obsession, I bought an Oral B electric toothbrush. This way I would get the exact amount of brush time recommended by 4 out of 5 dentist. The brush is suppose to get your teeth CLEAN and also massage the gums.

Yikes, was I in for a treat. The brush, I guess still stiff from being new, kinda battered my gums. When I spit out the first round of toothpaste, I noticed the pink in the mix. Freaked me out a little, but what the hey, my gums were feeling good. I continued until the automatic timer on the brush slowed to a stop.

My teeth seemed to gleam. They were shiny. I may not have to get the veneers after all. I'll just beat my gums up three times a day with my new brush.
