Sometimes vanity can be harmful if we aim for too much. Physical improvement shouldn’t be for anyone else’s benefit but our own. Some may consider teeth whitening as a vain attempt at beauty but our teeth is actually one of the parts of our body that can brighten and improve how we look and even our outlook. Kianna had been asking me about a teeth whitening procedure and I decided to give her the opportunity to try it out. She had her teeth whitened while Bastian and Jael had a checkup and cleaning done at our visit to Affinity Dental Clinics.
The procedure took a few hours to complete but the improvement was evident. It was a bit of a painful process which Kianna endured as much as she could. The process involves levels of whitening up to what the patient’s tolerance can endure. She was able to endure up to 2 1/2 levels in the process. One session can have up to 3 attempts of whitening depending on the pain tolerance.
Kianna had her own thoughts on her experience:
- doctor was nice and accommodating
- after a month she just experienced “nangingilo” when drinking cold water
- she would do it again
- feels the process and time was worth it
- made her confident
Do’s and Don’ts After Whitening
- Avoid any colored food for the first 24-48 hours
- White and clear food are advised
- Stay away from: tomato based food | chocolates | dark green vegetables | curry based food
- Avoid keeping up with habits such as
- Smoking
- Drinking: Coffee | Tea | Wine
- Some degree of sensitivity is normal. This can be relieved by:
- Taking pain relievers
- Use of a topical gel (Tooth Mousse)
- Use of toothpaste for sensitive teeth
- Avoid the use of colored mouthwash
- Teeth may return to their natural color after a few months depending on your habits

Interested. hehehe. I find it not a vanity but more on to boost one’s confidence. Will check with Affinity CLinic. Hope we could use the remaining credits we have. Thanks for this.
Taking care of every part of our body, including teeth, for me, is not vanity. 😉 I’m happy to see your daughter flashing her best smile with confidence.
I would love to give this treatment a try, if only they had a branch near me. Alabang na yung nearest sa kin, but still almost two hours away from where I live.
Having sparkling teeth definitely adds confidence and kung may opportunity to have one, grab it! Ganda ni Kianna!!!
Nice! I’ve always wanted to try na magpateeth whitening coz ang hilig ko sa dark beverages (coffee, soda, etc), but it’s never made to the top of my priority list. But after reading this, parang na.excite talaga ako magpaschedule na with our dentist. Hopefully soon. Iba talaga ang boost ng confidence na dala with having a great-looking set of teeth.
What’s the cause of the pain daw? Isn’t it harmful to the tooth enamel itself?
I love Dra Robles! She cleaned my kids’ teeth too. She was so thorough and loved that she explained what was needed to be done.
Napakaimportante na maayos at maputi ang ngipin hindi lang para sa vanity pero para confident din makipagusap. Mga ilang months siya tumatagal na maputi?
Hi Jho, mga 1 month before naging noticeable yung pag lighten. Tapos tumagal yung puti mga 3 or 4 months
