Question:
I had my four front teeth bonded because of my enamel wasting away not bad though just slightly. I have tried the trays, and even the Crest Whitestrips but the ingredients hurts my gums so bad I can't wear any of them. What would you suggest would be my next step to whiten the rest of my teeth? ...Kathy

Answer:
The only way I could answer your question would be to take a professional look at you. Ask your dentist to evaluate your gums. Take some extra Vitamin C (1000mg per day) and Vitamin E (400 i.u. per day). You can also use some Oxyfresh products to toughen your gums. Visit my website Michigan-Cosmetic-TMJ-Dentist.com for more info.

The best way to get your gums toughened up is to use plastic toothpicks and clean between your teeth with them vigorously twice a day. A knowledgeable hygienist can show you how to do this. You should be able to solve your problem easily.
