Whitening Teeth w/o Damaging Your Pocket >.>

yo!
quicky post!

aren't your teeth a bit yellow?
ehh. mine is too.

do you wannas damage your pocket and buy all those strips and toothpastes and whatnot?
ehh. i don't.

so what does stacy do?

she uses baking soda! 

WOOT!

baking soda is cheap!

i got that huge box for fifty cents. =.="

but baking soda is a natural whitening cheap thingy! 

ROFL!

but just dip your toothbrush in water (some say milk? maybe because it's for stronger teeth. i unno.)

then dip it in a bowl/cup of baking soda. 

DON'T STICK IT INSIDE THE BOX! GRR!!

your brush should look totally white!

so then you brush for two-three minutes.

rinse throughly and

SMILE! :D

brush your teeth with baking soda two-three times a week.

the results won't come on the first try, so patience.

so show me that white smile of yours!

<3 - stacy. ( :

ps! the box had a cookie recipe behind it. ROFL!

Demineralizing Teeth =.="

ayo!
today is all about demineralizing teeth and i have some online books you should read, since i haven't got a chance to. >.>

so these are the reports/books you should read. read them asap, because did you know that fluoride isn't FDA approved? and did you know that fluoride is almost like lead - deadly? did you?!!! i didn't till now. -.-

so read these! also! you need Adobe Reader for these.

Secret to Good, Healthy Gums
The 6 Hidden Dangers in Toothpaste
The Warnings on Toothpaste

these three reports are free on OraMD's website. so check it out, because they have testimonials about their products, if you're a bit jiffy if it works or not. :D
---------
demineralizing teeth is when minerals are removed from the enamel.

i haven't got to read much about demineralizing teeth, so you should do your own research. sorry!
here's a good website.

the product is was given to prevent not cure was "GC MI Paste Plus."
it comes in five flavors, and i had gotten melon. ^_^
it contains fluoride and i had a hard time deciding to use it or not, but i do. *shrugs*
i prefer to try to prevent anymore nasty teeth then using a harmless (i think!) 0.2% fluoride.

the paste is a white paste that is smeared in your mouth and left alone for THREE minutes!
afterwards you use your tongue and spread it all around. your nooks and crannies. :D
it's disgusting at first, but you get use to it.

also! my dentist said that my cause for the white spots (a warning to show that teeth is demineralizing!) is drinking too much soda.
err hello!!!? i don't drink soda! not on a regular basis. like less than a can a month.
she blames sugar, but i have no idea how. >.>

if you wannans know more about this paste go to their website!
this is what it looks like by the way.

wannans know meee awesome nail polish?

head on over to my other bloggie, mintylovee!!

so this is it for now!

i'm not sure on what to write about in the next post. >.>

but oh yea! i went to the dentist today to fix a cavity of mine, but my dentist wasn't here. >.>

i was so pumped and prepared! lol!

so i rescheduled on July 21st... the day before my oral-surgeon appointment for my underbite.

*sigh* back to back teeth appointments. =.=

but bye!!! have an awesome July 4th!

eat but don't forget to floss! 

buhahaahhaah.

Receding Gums & OraMD update! :D

ayo!
i finally post. =/ i wanted to use OraMD for over a week to FULLY give you an update. :D
and plus... i was kinna lazy in doing research. >.>
but onto the info!

**Receding Gums (for Arie ^_^ <3 you!) : 


Receding gums are when "... the protective tissue around your teeth is lost and pulls away towards the roots."
Receding gums can be caused by brushing your teeth improperly and harshly, and also by gum disease (periodontal disease).

many people brush in straight motions, like a washboard, which is incorrect. doing this will wear away the enamel at the gum line.
*the recommended way to brush is in circular motions, so get to it! hehe.

with gum disease, having inadequate brushing and flossing will let that BAD bacteria sit in between your teeth (aka plaque).
this will result in bone loss, and other...

but please read more about gum disease from the site which i've took information from, in quotes!

[[quoted information, and other IMPORTANT info found here.]]
---------
onto OraMD!

i am NOT paid to advertise or endorse OraMD, but if i could, i would!
this stuff is AMAZING! NO lie!
it's been nine days that i've been using this product, and i can tell the difference in my gums AND teeth!

my gums are waaay pinker, but still a bit red somethings-it takes time right? and perseverance!
and i mentioned that i have receding gums, which look as if they are coming back...

it's hard to explain, but my gums are getting a bit plumper and are surrounding my teeth more. my explanation is terrible, but it's a good thing.
my gums feel soft, and they just feel as if they're coming back to momma!!! haha.

OraMD contains 3 different botanical oils, peppermint, spearmint and almond. (: these three, like the Powerpuff Girls, fight together to destroy the 22 anaerobic bacterial strains that occur in the mouth naturally.

the first uses, week if i must say, the oils will taste strong, and as if your mouth is kind of burning, because... the product is working!
i also noticed that right after eating and you brush your teeth with OraMD, it BURNS! sooo bad, but no pain, no gain.

i'll tell you how to use OraMD in my next post since this is getting lengthy. =/
----
this post was suppose to be posted like three days ago, but things came up, so i couldn't. >.> SORRY!!!


but i'll make it up tomorrow! i'll do a whole bunch about OraMD and teeth care. i'm so Sorry!!!!! ) : forgive?

<3-stacy. ( :

ps! i'll talk about demineralizing teeth tomorrow! sorry Arie!!!

Helloo.

helloo!
let's start off saying this blog is ALL about my teeth! haha.

i know it's weird, but i know it'll help people out there. trust me!

my teeth history:
i've always had bad teeth, gums, and just mouth issues-to put it out there.
i was-and still am- terrible with my hygienic ways. i know i'm young but i'm old enough to know better and what to do; but the thing is, i've never had motivation in anyway.
when i was in my toddler years, i never had family around or a parent's touch, guiding me through my really, younger years. so i ended up never caring about my teeth and gums. never brushed my teeth and never flossed and just didn't give a darn. i know it's not a good excuse, but how you were raised impacts your whole life.

so anyways! i've always been bad with my teeth. i always fear dentist appointments.
but whe i found out how i needed braces, i freaked. i never wanted braces, i still don't, but i need them badly.
i have a severe under-bite, class 3 malocclusion (we'll talk about that later!). i was always made fun of it, and to make it worse, i've always been insecure about my smile and my mouth. VERY insecure.

ok! now to the present! i had a dentist appointment (blahhh!) about three weeks ago. that's when i found out stuff that i never knew.
i found out i had receding gums (which is prone to periodontal disease; another post!) and my teeth were de-mineralizing.

now you see. when you're thirteen, freaked out about dentists, and exhausted from school because your bus left you, how would YOU react?
well i was clueless and confused, and to make it amusing, i had the sucky thingy in my mouth when the dentist was talking to me about it. =.=

so she gave me, this product to help my de-mineralizing teeth. but NOTHING for my gums! i just smiled and left, clueless about my gums, until is started to research more about it; and boy was it disturbing!

i have found a product for my receding gums, called, 'OraMD.'
i just got it today, so i'll use it at night, and do a update about it tomorrow, along with other facts. (:
------
so why am i writing a blog about my teeth?
my answer is that, i know there are tons of people out there, clueless about the dangers of toothpaste, fluoride, and how important teeth,gum and mouth care is important.

so i step in, hoping to help out anyone.
i will try out new products, and will review from my stand point.
i will do the research and share it with you gals and guys, but sum it up, going straight to the importance.
i hope that you can follow this blog, refer to others and live a life not being afraid of your smile.

so join me on my journey, and we'll conquer our problems!
<3- stacy tran, not mintylovee or tracy stan.
i will do this wholeheartedly, even if no one is reading this, because this is my motivation. (:
