Supersmile Professional Whitening System
Tuesday, 9 June 2009
I’m always looking for ways to avoid the dentist and so when I read about how the Supersmile Professional Whitening System can whiten my teeth without the use of messy trays, I got it through Drugstore via a local spree.
Supersmile Professional Whitening System is a set comprising a 50 grams whitening toothpaste and a 34 grams whitening accelerator which is transparent and gel-like. It is easy to use; all I need is to squeeze equal amount of the toothpaste and the accelerator on a dry toothbrush and brush away for 2 minutes. No additional effort required!
Contains baking soda
The Supersmile Professional Whitening System was created by Dr. Irwin Smigel, founder of The American Society for Dental Aesthetics and the acknowledged father of aesthetic dentistry. I have no idea who he is but I was intrigued to learn that this product actually contains baking soda, an ingredient which I recommended for DIY teeth whitening!
Supersmile tooth whitening products are the world’s first oral hygiene line to offer the miracle of Calprox®. This patented, new scientific breakthrough whitening agent is combined with baking soda and is encapsulated with 16 other ingredients to non-abrasively dissolve the protein pellicle to which coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, smoking stains, and plaque adhere, causing discolored teeth.
Low abrasion level
And unlike those home-bleaching teeth whitening systems, the Supersmile Whitening Toothpaste is said to have an abrasion level 75% below that permitted by The American Dental Association guidelines. So I don’t have to worry that my teeth will turn porous after using this whitening system.
A shade whiter after one use
Apparently results vary with individuals but I have to say that this is the only commercial teeth whitening product I’ve used that work almost instantly for me. After just one brush, it got rid of the superficial stains on my teeth and they appear whiter by a shade! And after about three weeks of usage, my teeth is now a lot whiter. Although the baking soda helped to whiten my teeth but it was impossible to use everyday over a long run without hurting my gums since it’s in the form of powder. With Supersmile Professional Whitening System, I had no such worries and that’s why the area near to my gums are also whiter now.
No yellow stains but not pearlie white either
However, I doubt that my teeth will be as white as those seen on models or celebrities who had theirs professionally bleached. But at least I can now smile with more confidence knowing that my teeth doesn’t look yellow just having paid about US$30 for this set which I can probably use for about six weeks.
Availability & cost
If you’re interested to find out more about this product, you can look up their website at www.supersmile.com. It’s available at their website and at drugstore.com but I found cheaper sources starting from US$27+ at BizRate

It did for me but not super white.

Haha, I look for ways to avoid the dentist too! My dentist is sometimes rough with my teeth, and don’t like that at all. This looks pretty cool. Have you ever tried Crest White Strips? They’re good, but they made my teeth a bit sensitive.

I’ve tried Crest products but not the white strips. Was afraid of the sensitivity.

I second Crest White Strips. The Supreme ones show results after 1 day. Can’t overuse them or leave them too long. I use just 1 strip a day for 7 days (30 min each time) and lay off them for a few months or until I remember to whiten my teeth again. Always get compliments on them post-usage

I’m now quite tempted to give it a try given that you and Dee both had good things to say about it. Maybe once will not cause my teeth to be too sensitive?

It depends how many times you use it Sesame. It works wonders for me. My teeth looked like I got them whitened at the dentist! The only thing is, if you use to much, you’re teeth and your gums get a bit sensitive. I think using it 1-2 times a week should be ok.

Okay thanks for the advice Dee! I think I’ll give it a shot. Supersmile whitens but not the super white standard…so this sounds good.

You won’t regret it
They come in different % for the active ingredient. If you’re afraid of sensitivity, choose one with a lower %. You can read up here(http://www.whitestrips.com/whitestrips-home.jsp) but I usually get them off Ebay US. Just remember not to brush your teeth right before or right after usage. I usually use them at the end of a long day (right after dinner). I’m also having them on at the moment. Day 6 of my latest application and my teeth’s gone at least 2 shades whiter or less yellow.

Thanks for the info! I’ll check it up. It sounds interesting but also a bit troublesome. Maybe I’ll try it if I’m not too lazy.
