How I Got My Teeth Over 8 SHADES Whiter!!

Hey there! My name is Amy Henderson, and I'm from Los Angeles, CA. I want to tell you how I changed my teeth from being something I was ashamed of to being something I’m proud to show off. This teeth whitening trick changed my life and I hope it can change yours too. I’m not a doctor - although my dentist assured me doing this will not hurt my teeth, and it didn't - or medical expert, I’m just a mom who stumbled upon a special combination of two different products that work wonders when put together. This is my story.

How did my teeth go so bad?

I started smoking way back in college when I was 21 years old. I smoked for just over 15 years before finally quitting, and although I’m very happy I did quit, I was disappointed that my teeth really didn’t recover. In addition to smoking, I was self employed for 7 years and had no dental coverage whatsoever. I can’t claim to have brushed twice a day every single day, but I honestly think I was usually pretty good about it… and I didn’t see any improvement, no matter how many “whitening toothpastes” I tried.

Anyway, long story short, eating sugary foods and about 15 years of smoking made my teeth look the way they appear in the “before” picture below on the left. NASTY!! The picture on the right shows my teeth after I used the Whitening Now and South Beach Smile combination. A pretty dramatic transformation, right?

This is a before and after picture taken by a friend as I tried these products. The results were immediate.

Before After

UPDATE 11/22/08: I just went to the site of the products I used - Whitening Now and South Beach Smile - and it looks like they are still offering free trials to anyone interested. There seems to be only a few trials remaining!!

You won't believe how watching TV changed my life!

In some strange way, I owe my new pearly white teeth to the reporters at CNN.  After having no success at all with the tooth whitening toothpastes over the years, I was casually watching the news one night when I saw a report in which a famous New York dentist discussed the advancements and effectiveness of modern “at home” tooth whitening products. Many of which you can't get in stores.

His exact words were, “Yes, two months ago I used some of the products that were on the market.  And my teeth lightened up to five shades.  We tested 22 volunteers, and it ranged from five shade difference to eight shades lighter.”  8 shades lighter sounded pretty awesome to me. So I started looking around on the internet at some of the recommended products.  I previously had tried some of the popular strip options and didn’t notice much of a difference with any of them, although at the time I thought I might be seeing some slight improvement (you know, the “placebo” effect :))
 

It doesn't end there!

Next I did what I should have done right of the bat and followed the dentist's from TV recommendation of trying these new products.  I had wanted to all along, but I’m not a rich woman and didn’t think I could afford it.  But after looking around online, I found a free trial offer that allowed me to get two different products – Whitening Now & South Beach Smile – for free to test out!

My idea was that I’d just use one first then right after I would switch to the other, and that’s exactly what I did. Wow, was I shock with what happened next. The results were really good with the first product alone, worked just like it said it would. I thought my teeth looked great after just the first product's application. What I hadn’t expected was that when I followed it with the second, I noticed huge improvements in the color of my teeth. It was like they were when I was young. Pearly white and shiney, no more nasty yellow stains! Like I said, I’m no doctor or medical expert, but it appears that each of the separate products focus on DIFFERENT parts of my stained teeth! This resulted in some AMAZINGLY white teeth!!

By using them both in a row I was able to get even better results, and because they both had free trials I was able to test the whole thing for free instead of having to risk losing my money to some scam. By using BOTH of the free trial products together, I effectively got a “super” whitening that was even better than either of them would have been on its own. Even after the free trial period I kept on whitening and the results just continued getting better and better (that’s after the “after” picture of my teeth on this blog).

Did the whiter teeth last?

So like I said, I tried both of the products at the same time to see if my idea really worked. I will discuss my results in a bit, but to put it simply: IT WORKED AND STAYED! I didn't mean to bore you with my little story... but I thought it was necessary. I will show another before-and-after picture once I discuss the two products.

This is how I put them together to get them to work well:

Step 1: Whitening Now

Whitening Now is the first product in my two product dynamic duo. Let me summarize quickly how it helps.

Whitening Now helps with:

  • General Yellowing of the Teeth
  • Aging Stains
  • Coffee/Wine Stains
  • Smoking Stains (my problem)
  • Genetic Stains

Free Whitening Now' Promotion
I'm not sure how long this promotion will last, but they are currently offering free trials to any new customers who want to try the
Whitening Now teeth whitening kit. They only offer a limited supply each day though.

Step 2: South Beach Smile

South Beach Smile is the “second ingredient” in my white smile recipe–it basically filled in the spots the Whitening Now missed and added to the overall whiteness. Again, the free trial is the key to doing the whole whitening without any risk!

South Beach Smile helps:

  • Whiten the areas Whitening Now doesn’t hit.
  • Reinforce and complete the general improvement.

The trick is using two free trial products that compliment each other to give yourself a whitening that’s better than you ever could have expected.  Pictures speak better than words, and looking at the change always makes me smile, so I’ll end with my improvement again.

Here are my results again!

Before After

Anyway I hope my experience has helped you and if you want to give it a shot yourself, I hope your improvements are as amazing and as life changing as mine are. I feel so amazing!!! I actually get compliments all the time; "Wow your white teeth look great! How did you do it?” I didn't even know this was possible. But it sure is, try it out and see.

If you missed it earlier, here are the free trials I found:

This story shocked me, especially your pictures. That is crazy how it can get so white after just 7 hours. I just ordered two free trials..
KarlaNovember 14, 2008 at 5:43 pm

Sounds interesting… especially the idea of combining the two free trials to basically get one super improved product. You’re the 5th person I’ve heard who had these amazing results with Whitening Now and South Beach Smile. I guess it’s time for me to get some whiter teeth! Thanks!

Its awesome that people are trying Movie Star Look, glad to see your site is going well. I got a free sample 6 months ago and love my new white teeth!

My trial got here really fast, couldnt be more happy, the 14-day free trial was a nice bonus. thanks Amy!
RobNovember 18, 2008 at 5:57 pm

My teeth are really happy I read this article, thanks amy! My stains also mostly came from coffee and cigarettes, Ive been using Crest whitestrips and the 2-hour Rembrandt product and they didnt do much for my teeth. I wish I would have found this site before I spent $150 on other products! The $5 Trial was nice."
TammyNovember 18, 2008 at 7:15 pm

I'm usually hesitant with these types of products, but your story inspired me. I ordered the free trial and will update you on the results
