Teeth whitening by InnoWhite

Having a set of bright and white teeth has always been something I was after. I mean, I spent 2 + years wearing braces so that my teeth could be straight and perfect but what is the use of it being straight if it looks yellow right? So I always used teeth whitening toothpaste and even teeth whitening strips to get a temporary fix for the color of my teeth.

Then, back in February 2014, yes, 1 year ago, I was offered a chance to get my teeth whitened by this new technology called 'INNOWHITE' by Dr Chung. I was thrilled because I've always wanted to get my teeth whitened by I didn't have the budget for it. I remember it being around S$3,000+ when I last checked!

"Our company is specializing in professional dental whitening system which market under the brand InnoWhite. This is wholly owned by our company in Singapore and it is a Singapore brand. The products include the in-office and home-whitening system.

The key feature of the InnoWhite is the utilization of OSRAM Advanced LED (ALED) technology from Germany in operating its light unit.  This non-heat solution emits blue-light at maximum intensity providing great effectiveness on the bleaching process, with reducing sensitivity and discomfort to the patients during the treatment .  Although the whitening effect initiated primarily by the chemical, the light with designated wavelength has the ability to speed up the oxidation process and make the treatment process more effective.   At the moment, we are offering complete in-office whitening kit with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP35),  Home whitening kits with 10% as well as 22% carbamide peroxide (Home CP10 & CP22), and 6% whitening pen (WP6) as maintenance kit.  The products have been used by many dentists since we launched and the results have been very impressive. " as quoted by Dr Chung.

My teeth whitening was done at Orchard Scotts dental at Wheelock place.

These are some before and after pictures of other patients shared by Dr Chung.

I was definitely convinced that my teeth was going to look so amazing when I left the clinic.

I was then introduced to dentist Dr Jerry Lim who told me about the process of InnoWhite and what I was going to expect for the next 60 minutes under his care. 

(Yes, this was me back in February 2014, 1.5 years ago.. and I actually look darker then.. don't I?)

The entire process of my whitening session was filmed, do check out the video at the end of this blogpost!!

Here, Dr Jerry Lim was matching my teeth to find the color range my teeth was in.

& surprisingly, my teeth were already pretty white to begin with!

It was like the "4th" place from the whitest it can be.. HAHA, so Dr Jerry told me the difference I notice after the whitening session may not be as big of a difference as those who have very yellow teeth.

So in the diagram above, is the entire process of InnoWhite.

Very straight forward and quick!

I was done in under 60 minutes.

The timer was set at 15 minutes each time because that is how long the LED had to shine over the whitening gel.

I'm not going to sugarcoat things but I do have a pretty sensitive front tooth, the left side especially, and after the 2nd round, my teeth/gums were starting to have a reaction to the whitening gel. The feeling of tingling and weird sensation like how a sensitive teeth would feel when in contact with extremely cold stuff. A little achey kind of feel.

But it was definitely bearable lah, and for the sake of beauty, I braved through the 3rd and final round of the treatment which was just 15 minutes long

Here's a picture of my teeth:

Top row - before Innowhite

Bottom row - after Innowhite

My teeth was definitely 1 shade or  2 whiter. And as I've mentioned earlier on, the difference for me isn't that big because my teeth was already pretty white to begin with. But.. who doesn't want to have whiter teeth right?

So to be fair, this is the extend of what InnoWhite can do if your teeth are more yellow than mine!

I was also given this take home Tooth Whitening pen by Dr Chung so that I can maintain the whiteness of my teeth even months after the InnoWhite treatment and it is really simple to use.

Just "color" or rather coat your teeth (I only use it on the front few teeth) with the gel and let it stay for around 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off!

& here is a picture with Dr Jerry Lim, on the left, and Dr Chung, on the right.

Thank you for giving my teeth a brand new brighter and whiter shine!!

The cost of the treatment is between S$1,000 to S$1,500, so much cheaper than the rest that I've enquired! I remember one clinic I checked was around S$3,000 and that scared me and put me off teeth whitening because it was way way way out of my budget.

Sensodyne #TrueWhiteStyle

If you were given a choice, would you choose a toothpaste that has whitening properties or one that has sensitivity relieving properties? 

I'm a huge vain pot so I know I'll definitely pick the one that gives me whiter teeth!

A nice smile is really important to mnee because well, people usually say I look super fierce if I were to not smile (HAHA). So when they say, a little smile goes a long way, THEY ARE NOT LYING!

When I was having my interview to be a flight attendant at Singapore Airlines a few years back, one of the interviewers even pulled me aside to tell me to "smile more, if not you look very serious.". & I kept her advice in mind and I passed the remaining 2 interviews by throwing in tons of sincere smiles. 

However, for individuals who have sensitive teeth, I think you'll most likely to pick the toothpaste that has relieves sensitivity right? My mom has been using sensitivity relieving toothpaste for the longest time because her teeth aches every time she eats something cold! 

& my bathroom has like 2 different tubes of toothpaste on the sink because of our different needs.

But then, I received this parcel from Sensodyne last week

(which is the toothpaste brand my mom uses because her dentist told her it will help her the most)

& it is their new TRUE WHITE toothpaste!

& it contains BOTH whitening AND sensitivity relieving properties!

WHAT?!

Really?!

I was super glad to hear that & I told my mom that she can try using this toothpaste instead because it is like an UPGRADED version of the one she is currently using.

Sensodyne toothpaste has been clinically proven to relieve sensitive teeth and I bet all of you know that right? It really is what most dentists recommend when you tell them you have concerns with sensitive teeth.

Just that now, its BETTER because the TRUE WHITE toothpaste whitens at the same tjme!

The toothbrush has a double head, one side is the normal bristles which is SO SOFT yet FIRM at the same time - the outer extra soft tapered bristles are specially designed to clean in hard to reach areas in a gentle way!

And the other side is the rubbery side is the tongue cleaner to aid in removing bacteria on your tongue surface. Do you know that even though you brush your teeth really well and clean, a large amount of bacteria is still present in your mouth if you do not clean your tongue properly? So remember to always scrap your tongue with a tongue cleaner!! 

I can NEVER go a day without using a tongue cleaner, but sometimes I'll forget to pack it into my travel bag when I'm on a holiday and I just feel so unhygienic the entire day. So I'm really loving the fact that this toothpaste has the tongue cleaner on the flip side of the bristles.

So I've been using the TRUE WHITE toothpaste & toothbrush as a pair & they work wonderfully well together.

My everyday routine..

squeeze a generous amount (this is just my habit, I like to use A LOT of toothpaste) on the toothbrush..

& brush away!!

I really like the minty flavor it has because it is THE BEST at removing any trace of morning breath I have. HAHA, too much info? Oops.

But come on, don't act okay, everyone has morning breath.

OH OH OH!

& do you know that the Sensodyne TRUE WHITE is really gentle on your teeth and gums even though it has whitening properties? 

It is 10 TIMES LESS abrasive than many everyday other whitening toothpaste!

(While most whitening toothpastes have a Relative Dentine Abrasion (RBA) index above 150, Sensodyne True White has an RDA of just 13!!!)

So you don't have to worry that you are stripping off the top layer of your enamel like other whitening toothpaste that gives you whiter teeth but they are actually "thinning" you teeth slowly. In other words, brushing your teeth with Sensodyne True White is as gentle as brushing with water!

I'll definitely give my nod of approval to the Sensodyne TRUE WHITE toothpaste & toothbrush which I've been really enjoying using daily.
