The Role of Teeth Polishing in Maintaining Dental Health
Tumblr media
A simple smile can convey self-assurance and leave an impression. With advancements in dental care, achieving that perfect smile is more accessible than ever. Whether you want to brighten your teeth, maintain oral hygiene, or replace missing teeth, various dental treatments can help. This article explores the benefits of teeth bleaching gel, teeth polishing, laser dentistry, and tooth implant procedures—each designed to enhance your teeth' appearance and health.
Teeth Bleaching Gel: Brighten Your Smile Safely
A white smile is often associated with beauty and health, and teeth bleaching gel is a popular method for achieving brighter teeth. This gel, which can be applied by dentists or purchased in at-home kits, dissolves stains on the enamel of the teeth. The active components, usually carbamide or hydrogen peroxide, whiten the teeth by penetrating the enamel and removing discolouration.
One critical benefit of teeth bleaching gel is its effectiveness. When applied correctly, it can lighten your teeth by several shades in just a few applications. While teeth whitening procedures done by a dentist usually produce better and faster results, at-home kits let you whiten at your speed and are more convenient.
Nevertheless, use tooth bleaching gel responsibly. Excessive use might erode tooth enamel and cause discomfort. If you have any preexisting dental conditions or are concerned about potential tooth sensitivity, you should talk to your dentist before beginning teeth whitening treatment.
Teeth Polishing: Essential for Oral Hygiene and Aesthetics
While teeth bleaching gel focuses on whitening, teeth polishing is a crucial procedure for maintaining your teeth' health and appearance. Usually performed during a routine dental cleaning, this process involves removing plaque and surface stains from the teeth, leaving them smooth and shiny.
Teeth polishing plays a vital role in oral hygiene. It removes plaque, helps prevent cavities and gum disease, and enhances the lustre of your smile. The process involves using a special paste containing fine abrasive particles, which gently polish the tooth surfaces. This makes your teeth look better and reduces the likelihood of bacteria adhering to them.

Regular teeth polishing is recommended as part of your dental care routine. Along with brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash, it helps keep your teeth free from plaque and surface stains, ensuring a healthier, more attractive smile.
Laser Dentistry: Advanced Care for a Range of Dental Issues
Laser dentistry is a huge step forward in patient care as an improved, more precise, and frequently less invasive alternative to more conventional dental procedures. Cavity removal, gum disease therapy, and teeth whitening are just a few dental ailments that can be addressed using this technology's focused beams of light.
Accuracy is critical in laser dentistry. Because the laser can precisely target areas without harming nearby tissue, it reduces bleeding, pain, and recovery durations. For those who experience anxiety during dental procedures, laser dentistry can be a more comfortable option, often reducing the need for anaesthesia.
In addition to treating dental issues, laser dentistry is used in cosmetic procedures, such as gum reshaping and preparing teeth for restorations like crowns and fillings. The efficiency and accuracy of lasers make these procedures quicker and more effective, offering patients a better overall experience.
Tooth Implant: The Best Solution for Missing Teeth
A tooth implant is the most advanced and reliable method for restoring lost teeth. A tooth implant involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, fusing with the bone to provide a stable foundation for a replacement tooth.
The benefits of a tooth implant are numerous. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are permanent and can last a lifetime with proper care. They also look and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
A tooth implant procedure usually includes an extensive evaluation, surgical implant insertion, and subsequent crown installation after implant integration with the jawbone. While the procedure may take several months to complete, the long-term benefits make it a worthwhile investment in oral health.
Conclusion
A beautiful smile results from a mix of treatments designed to meet your needs. Modern dentistry offers practical solutions, whether to brighten your teeth with teeth bleaching gel, maintain your health with teeth polishing, address dental issues with laser dentistry, or replace missing teeth with a tooth implant. By understanding these procedures, you can make informed decisions about your dental care, ensuring a healthy and radiant smile.

Summer 2014
bfd!no-outbreak!Joel Miller x f!Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: What happens if you find out you're attracted to your best friend's father? Well, Joel is more than willing to show you that. Warnings: +18, MDNI, age gap (reader’s in Sarah’s age), best friend’s dad!Joel, protected PIV, fingering, dom!Joel, pet names, dirty talk Wordcount: 5,7k An: A bit of a stepdad vibe idk??? BUT we all had to go through summer 2014 phase so Joel should too ;) Music I worked with: My Love - Justin Timberlake, T.I.
Masterlist
Your friendship with Sarah started in elementary school. Since then, you were inseparable. You always did everything together. Usually at her house because your parents were... quarrelsome. Joel never minded that sometimes you stayed at their place for a week or longer. In fact, he was glad that his daughter had a friend like you. Thanks to you, he stopped spitting in his face that he didn't spend enough time with his princess. That's why, whenever he had time on the weekend, he took you to the movies, bowling or just to eat something unhealthy.
The Millers' house became your second home. Better home. Joel became like a loving father to you, the one that was missing in your real family. You loved cuddling up to his side when you had movie marathons on Fridays.
Years passed, you and Sarah started to grow up. Joel had to face new challenges. Posters of singers covered all the walls in Sarah's room. Makeup kits could be found in every cabinet in the house. Your giggles and squeals would echo when one of your idols released a new song or simply had their picture taken on the street.
Your teenage years really took their toll on him. He would drive you to concerts, wait with you in line for hours for a stupid autograph from a guy with a bleached smile and too much gel in his hair. Sometimes he was getting tired of you two. But as long as he saw the wide smiles on your faces, he was able to grit his teeth and fight the backache and headaches you gave him.
Or maybe he was just getting old.
Then came the period of your love conquests. He couldn't count how many times he had to sit with each of you on the couch and hug you, whispering comforting words about how you were perfect and boys were stupid. And you could have your heart broken every month, but he was always able to fix you.
Everything in your life fell into place in such a way, that you didn't introduce your first serious boyfriend to your parents. You introduced him to Joel. You invited him to dinner at the Millers' house so Joel could judge whether he liked the candidate you had chosen for yourself. Joel became a real parent to you. And he couldn't have been happier. A single father, not of one princess, but of two.
You were the ones who gave him breakfast in bed on Father's Day. You were the ones who took him to his favorite restaurant on his birthday. You were the ones who judged whether he looked good when he started dating.
And finally, you both grew up. You started going to work to earn money for the holidays. You started going out with friends and coming back drunk in the middle of the night. You were starting to be young women. You were no longer his little princesses. But despite that, Joel still treated you like that.
He still made you waffles with rainbow sprinkles on Saturday mornings. He still bought you your favorite ice cream. He still watched cartoons with you in the evenings. You were a family.
But it wasn't always rosy.
When you started growing up, you started arguing with him. About coming home too late, about forgetting to turn off the lights in the garage again, about him being too protective. It even got to the point where you told him that he had no right to pick on you for anything because he wasn't your father. It hurt him, but he knew you were right.
He wasn't your father and you weren't his daughter.
But you still called him when you didn't know something. You had to inform him when you decided to stay the night at your family home. He was the arms in which you cried, apologizing for what you were. And he never even thought to remind you of the words that ever hurt him.
But over time, everything started to change. You and Sarah were in your twenties when the first problems started. Her proposal that you should move out together to another state, which ended in a huge row on Joel's part. Then the fact that you were accepted to two different universities, a few hours away from each other. Then Sarah's boyfriend who came to ask her father for her hand in marriage, which ended in a row because it turned out that he had cheated on her.
Adult problems started, but it wasn't anything you couldn't handle.
That's why, when you were twenty-five, you still lived together with Joel and went on vacations together. And everyone was fine with that kind of life.
Joel loved having you around and couldn't imagine staying alone in that big house. Sarah stopped wanting to move to the other end of the country because she found the girl of her dreams.
And then there was you.
You just didn't want to lose the family you had.
And you were all happy that everything was the way it was.
"Let's go sunbathing!" you shouted with a wide smile as you entered the house.
Joel was just pouring himself his third cup of coffee that day and Sarah was watching some series while eating chips. You looked around seeing the lack of energy in their movements.
"What's wrong with you two? Why aren't you packing?" you asked frowning and entered the kitchen putting the bag of groceries on the table.
Joel glanced at you with those tired eyes of his and took a sip of coffee then without a word he started rummaging through the groceries you had made. You turned to Sarah who ignored the fact that you had returned home. You ran up to her and jumped over the back of the sofa landing next to her. She squealed in fear almost throwing her snacks and looked at you murderously. You ignored it, smiling widely.
"I've already packed," she announced going back to watching the crappy soap opera they put on every afternoon.
"Joel?" you asked glancing at him. He looked up at you, clearly having no idea what you were talking about because he was too busy reading the ingredients of some sweet drink.
"I packed him," Sarah said. Joel swallowed the coffee he had in his mouth and straightened up.
"Oh, yeah, she packed me," he nodded.
Out of the corner of your eye, you saw Sarah roll her eyes and you wanted to burst out laughing.
"Okay, so it's just me who’s left," you announced, clapping your hands and quickly getting up from the sofa and heading towards the stairs. "What swimsuits did you pack??!" you shouted already halfway to your room.
There was silence for a moment.
"I took pink and purple!" Sarah replied, to which you nodded to yourself and ran to your room to pack for your few days of vacation full of sun, beach and sweet drinks.
The few hours of driving were a curse on Joel's back. Plus your singing was finally starting to give him a migraine.
"I love you, but please," he grimaced glancing at each of you, "just shut up," he said to which you rolled your eyes and started talking about bullshit.
You had barely made it to the hotel before you had already dragged Joel out for a swim. The waves lapped against the shore as he watched you run through the water for another hour, splashing and diving. He finally allowed himself to relax, basking in the sun on a lounger and sipping a cold drink.
"Joel!" you shouted running out of the water. He lifted his sunglasses and watched as you ran towards him, all wet with a wide smile.
"What?" he asked when you were close enough. Panting heavily, you stood next to him, cold drops of water fall on his heated skin, making him grimace.
"Move, take some pictures of us because it's a nice sunset." You nodded towards the sky, where pink clouds were starting to form. Joel looked in that direction and then at Sarah, who was squeezing water out of her hair.
"I don't want to," he mumbled and fell back onto the lounger, closing his eyes. It didn't take a moment before he felt the cold water on his stomach. He inhaled loudly, straightening up like a string while you were already squealing towards the ocean.
"Move, man!" you shouted in his direction. Joel rolled his eyes and stood up with a groan. He quickly drank the rest of his drink and took his phone, moving towards you.
"Okay girls, your professional photographer has arrived," he said spreading his hands with a proud smile, standing near you. You both looked at him and then at each other and burst out laughing. His smile disappeared. "What was that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, dad. You know we love you and your great skills in every field," Sarah said amused. Joel rolled his eyes and turned on the camera on his phone. You both immediately got into position smiling widely as he started taking pictures of you. A dozen or so clicks later he grimaced looking at the phone screen.
"Your outfits are terribly overexposing the picture," he commented with a grimace.
"That's the point, dad," Sarah rolled her eyes.
"It has to be neon and colourful," you added. Joel raised his hands in surrender.
"Easy, not both at once or I won't be able to defend myself," he said with amusement and went back to taking pictures of you until the sky changed from pink to dark blue.
Then you all went back to the hotel eating ice cream on the way. Even Joel went wild and chose three scoops for himself.
At the hotel, he finally got a moment of peace from you when you were lost in your phones. You were both lying in bed dressed in his old t-shirts and shorts.
Joel sat in front of the TV long after you both fell asleep. Only then, he allow himself to have one last strong drink before bed.
He was on vacation too, so he could go wild, right?
In the middle of the night, your bladder made its presence known and the few drinks you had during the day wanted to come out. With a groan, you got up, looking around the room. Sarah was sleeping, bent in every direction on her bed, which was a normal sight. Barely lifting your feet from the ground, you left the room and headed down the dark hallway. Your eyes were still glued shut from sleep and you didn't feel like opening them.
You stood in front of the bathroom door and noticed that a beam of light was stretching across the floor. You frowned and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Joel probably forgot to turn off the light before he went to sleep. Nothing new.
You went inside, wincing at the sudden brightness. The hot steam and the sound of the water turning on immediately made it clear to you that Joel hadn't forgotten to turn off the light.
"I just have to pee," you said, making yourself known.
"Fuck me," Joel cursed, scared, and immediately peeked his head out from behind the shower curtain. But you were already half-conscious, sitting on the toilet. "I swear I'll have a heart attack one day," he muttered, turning off the water and reaching for a towel.
You rested your chin on your hand, almost falling asleep while peeing. Joel opened the curtain and stepped out of the shower, all wet. A navy blue towel wrapped low on his hips as he stood in front of the mirror with his back to you. You opened one eyelid, looking in his direction.
"Maybe in twenty years when you're older," you mumbled and reached for the paper. Joel glanced at you in the mirror and without a word began to brush his teeth.
You stood up pulling up your shorts and flushed the toilet. With a sleepy grimace you walked up to him and pushed yourself between him and the sink to wash your hands. He rolled his eyes moving to the side and leaned his hip against the cabinet.
"You should be proud of yourself," you said, catching his attention.
"Hm?" he mumbled indistinctly continuing to brush his teeth. You shook the water off your hands and wiped the rest on your shirt. You moved away from the sink and looked at him scanning his entire body.
"Because you look fuckin’ amazing for your age," you said and turned around walking towards the door. You showed him a thumbs up, opening the door. "Keep it up, man." You disappeared behind the door and Joel couldn't hold back a quiet snort at your words.
The next day Joel made a mistake. He let himself be dragged out shopping. And it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the fact that he followed you around for an hour straight. With everything you bought.
And you were all unconcerned, drinking another Starbucks coffee and gossiping about every handsome boy who passed by and glanced at you, even for a split second. Being a father was hard sometimes. And it was harder when a boy approached one of you, asking for your phone number. Then his fatherly instincts kicked him hard in the ass.
He was like your bodyguard. He scared everyone away while drawing the eyes of mommies at the same time. He can't count the number of times that married women have sent him flirtatious glances. At first he didn't complain, but over time it began to annoy him. He was too busy with your running asses.
"You'll never talk me into this again," he groaned, throwing all the bags on the ground by the door and moving to pour yourself something cold to drink.
And you, as if nothing had happened, took all the things and started to look through everything with a giggle. Joel rolled his eyes, taking a can of cola from the fridge and moving towards you, falling heavily onto the sofa next to you. He watched everything that flew through your hands from the side. He didn't even bother to comment on the fact that you started to make a strange fashion show, trying on all the colorful cloths. He watched some movie in silence and only spoke when you asked for his opinion on a given thing.
"And this one?" you asked, standing in a neon pink swimsuit that had several strings intertwining your waist. Sarah immediately nodded eagerly. Your gaze fell on Joel, waiting for his answer. He raised his hand and with his finger he ordered you to turn around. You turned around your axis and looked at him again. He gave a thumbs up and then went back to watching the movie.
In the evening, you were sitting on the sofa with Joel and browsing through an app on your phone. Joel was watching the news while drinking whiskey. You were both waiting for Sarah to come back from her mission to find a present for her girlfriend. You were lying with your legs on his thighs and with a grimace you scrolled through another post with a photo of your friends.
"Joel," you said suddenly. He mumbled in response without taking his eyes off the TV. "Is there something wrong with me?" you asked, writing an overly nice comment under a photo of your friends in love.
Joel frowned at your question and looked at you.
"What do you mean?"
You sighed and locked your phone, placing it on your chest. You were silent for a moment, wondering how you were going to put your sentence together.
"I mean..." you started, staring at the wall next to you to focus. "I'm twenty-five and I haven't even been on a stupid date in a few years," you explained. Joel immediately understood what you meant and sighed quietly.
"You're fine," he assured, but when he saw your lost look he immediately understood that this was no small matter in that very moment. "Okay..." he sighed, setting his drink on the table next to him. "Come here."
He patted his chest and didn't have to wait even a few seconds when you appeared at his side, curling up and snuggling into his chest. He hugged you tightly, pulling you even closer to him.
"I'm listening."
"My friends are getting married, having kids, even buying a fuckin’ houses," you started immediately. "And what am I doing? No relationship. Boring work. Sitting on strangers' hands."
Joel frowned at your words and looked down at you.
"Strangers?" he repeated, confused.
"Yeah, I mean..." you sighed heavily. "I ran away from my family to be with you two and I never even asked if it bothered you." Joel shook his head, not sure if he understood you correctly.
He immediately understood that you must be having a bad day and he couldn't just tell you that you've gotten stupider with age.
“Baby, you know I’m happy you’re with us. No matter how many times we fight, how many times you throw the trash in the wrong bin, you’ll still be part of the family,” he said, running his fingers through your hair. There was silence, broken only by the quiet sounds of the TV. For a moment, you stared blindly at the watch on his wrist.
“Will you promise me something?” you asked quietly.
“Anything, sweet girl.”
You snuggled closer to his chest so he immediately hugged you tighter.
"When Sarah moves out with her girlfriend, you'll be the only one left," you said letting him know something that was inevitable. His heart beat faster at the thought that his daughter would soon start her own life. "Will you promise me, that no matter what happens, we'll always be able to count on each other?" you asked looking up at him with those innocent eyes of yours.
Joel smiled warmly and moved closer placing a strong kiss on your forehead. You closed your eyes staying in that moment for as long as you can.
"No matter what," he whispered against your skin and kissed you again in the same place.
You smiled at each other when he pulled away from you. And for a moment you felt strange. As if some switch in your mind turned on. You couldn't tear your eyes away from his warm chocolate irises that were the color of honey in the sun. Joel continued to gently stroke your hair looking at you with that caring glint in his eye. Your breathing quickened as the silence between you began to drag on long enough for him to notice.
You swallowed hard as something else began to appear in his gaze. The warmth began to turn into seriousness and something else. You weren't even aware of it when your face slowly began to approach his until your breath began to fan his lips. Joel didn't move a millimeter, watching carefully. He didn't move away or move closer.
He didn't do anything, until your gaze fell on his lips and his cock twitched.
Then the door to the apartment opened with a bang.
You jumped on the spot, scared, and you both looked towards the main door. Joel tightened his arm around your shoulders, not letting you move. Your heart jumped into your throat when you heard Sarah's quiet murmurs before the door closed behind her.
You immediately returned to your previous position and buried your cheek in his chest as if you wanted to hide from the world.
"Public transport in this city is a joke," Sarah mumbled as she entered the small living room and threw her bag on the armchair next to the sofa. She sighed heavily looking at the program that was playing on the TV and sent a delayed glance your way. "What about her?" she frowned as she watched you snuggle into Joel's side.
"She's being dramatic because her friends got married," he explained staring at the TV. He was acting completely normal while your heart was going through something close to a heart attack at the time.
"So nothing new," she shrugged with a stupid smile.
"Fuck you," you burst out laughing glancing at her.
Sarah smiled wider before she walked closer and sat down on the other side of Joel and snuggled into his side as well. He sighed loudly and hugged his daughter.
"My two grown up girls need to cuddle up to their old man? Sweet," he commented amusedly, then he placed a kiss on Sarah's head and then yours.
But he kept his lips on yours much longer.
You were lying on the bed, tossing and turning. You tried to fall asleep but your mind decided to recall every single detail of this evening. You glanced at the clock on the dresser and growled when you saw that it was the middle of the night and you still hadn't slept a wink. You saw no point in further suffering. There was no point in even trying to fall asleep.
You sighed as you got up and quietly left the room, going to the kitchen. You poured yourself some tap water and leaned against the counter, calmly taking sips. You started looking around at all the cabinets and walls to somehow kill time. Finally, you looked towards the living room and almost spat out the water from your mouth.
"Fuck," you cursed, feeling your heart start to pound in your chest at the sight of Joel who was sitting in the dark on the sofa and looking in your direction.
You put your hand on your raging heart and looked at him with wide eyes.
"What the fuck Joel?!" you shouted in a whisper, putting the glass in the sink and slowly walking around the kitchen island. "What are you doing here?" you asked, standing by the sofa.
You noticed that he was holding a glass of what was probably his favorite alcohol. There was a half-empty bottle of whiskey on the table, at which you rolled your eyes, sighing heavily.
"How much did you drink?" You raised an eyebrow, but he remained silent, just looking at you. You watched him, waiting for any reaction from him, but he was like a stone. You sighed, opening your mouth to continue, but this time he interrupted you.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" he asked, unsettling you. You blinked a few times, your lips parted because you didn't expect such a question.
"I couldn't sleep," you explained indifferently, shrugging your shoulders.
"Why?" he asked immediately in a serious tone. This tone made you straighten up a bit more.
"It's too hot."
"Too hot," he repeated, nodding and looking away from you. He raised his glass and took a sip of whiskey. Silence fell between you. You nervously shifted your weight from one foot to the other, feeling the strange atmosphere that had settled between you. It was safest to retreat now.
"Okay, I'm going-"
"And do you know why I can't sleep?" he interrupted you, staring blankly into space. You felt your insides tighten. You probably didn't want to know the answer to that question. Not knowing seemed like a much safer option now.
"Why?"
Why couldn't your mouth work with your mind?
Joel snorted humorlessly and slowly moved his gaze to you.
"Because my daughter's best friend, who is like a daughter to me, looked at me in a way she shouldn't," he said seriously and took another sip of whiskey. You were silent, staring at him with a lost look. Your heart was already in your throat and cold sweat was running down your back.
Fuck. You didn't want to know that answer.
"Joel, listen-"
"And you know what's the worst of it all?" he interrupted you, frowning again. You fell silent, not wanting to upset him. He leaned down to put the glass on the table. "That I liked it more than I should have," he said, resting his elbows on his knees and staring at the remaining alcohol in the glass.
Your stomach did a somersault when you realized the meaning of his words. You could barely catch your breath as his gaze slowly traveled down your body to your face.
He liked it.
"So go back to your room if you don't want me to do something we'll both regret," he added warningly.
You felt incredibly hot and oxygen suddenly became a luxury item. You stood there as if frozen, clenching your thighs tightly as his gaze traveled down your body.
He looked down, shaking his head in disbelief, and after a moment a quiet snort left his lips. The silence around you was only interrupted by your heavy breathing.
"Fuck it," he growled under his breath before he got up from the sofa in the blink of an eye and found himself in front of you. His lips crashed painfully against yours, making you groan. The breath in your lungs froze as his hand tangled in your hair, pulling you closer to him. You dug your nails into his arms as he began to push against you.
His soft lips contrasted with his rough stubble. The taste of whiskey appeared on your tongue as he crept into your mouth. Butterflies formed in your stomach, yielding to his every move.
The mature man's lips tasted completely different.
They were tart. Rough. Strong.
Better.
Joel sensed that you weren't moving away from him. You weren't trying to free yourself. So his hands appeared on your waist. Big masculine hands.
He slid down, tightening his fingers on your hips, and tugged you, pulling you closer. You moaned, overwhelmed by everything. His cock quivered, which you felt on your stomach.
"Joel…" you whispered, but his kisses silenced you.
"One time. No one will know," he answered your unasked question.
His hands tightened on your body, making his hard cock dig more into your stomach. You moaned, melting under his touch. Joel took this as your consent and in one move, he pushed you onto the sofa. You fell with your whole body onto the soft material, out of breath. For a moment, you stared at the ceiling, but the sound of the package being torn apart caught your attention.
You lifted your head, catching your gaze on Joel, who was slowly putting a condom on his cock. Your pulse quickened as you realized that this was all real.
Or maybe you were dreaming.
But you didn't want to wake up then.
Your head fell back down as you tried to control your racing heart. You almost squealed when his fingers caught the waistband of your shorts and in one movement he pulled them down your hips. You shivered feeling the couch give way under his weight and after a moment his warm hands spread your thighs just so he could be there.
You locked eyes as he hovered over you and you could tell right away that you were both equally terrified by what was happening. But it seemed like it was too late to forget everything. Not when his hand slid down to your pussy.
"Not a word," he whispered warningly and ran his fingers over your leaking hole.
You moaned closing your eyes and his hand immediately found your lips. You looked at him with wide eyes as he looked at you so intensely that you felt smaller than you were.
"Shut up," this time he growled. His fingers ran over your slit again spreading all the moisture. Your moan died in his hand and that satisfied him. "You're so fucking wet," he growled frowning as he massaged your clit and a moment later he plunged two fingers inside you. You arched your back, moaning louder. “Shhh.”
He began to slowly fuck you with his fingers, watching as you tilted your head back further and further each time he curled them inside you.
“Yes baby, just like that,” he whispered under his breath as he felt you tighten around his fingers and your hips push themselves toward him. His two fingers were more than enough to make you feel filled.
They were fuckin’ thick and your tight hole didn't need more to come. You arched your back, moaning into his hand.
"Such a good girl," he whispered, speeding up the movements of his fingers to prolong your orgasm. You arched under him as the wet sound of how fast he pushed his fingers into you echoed around the room.
Only when you started to pull away from the over-simulation, he remove his fingers from you and take his hand from your mouth. You gasped for air, starting to pant heavily, but he didn't give you even half a minute to catch your breath. You felt something delicate slide over your wet entrance.
You purred impatiently when he ran his cock along the entire length of your slit and positioned himself at the entrance again. You already knew it was thick. You shifted anxiously, preparing yourself for the fact that it could hurt.
"Relax because I don't want my dick to fall off," he said feeling you clench so hard around nothing that he couldn't even enter you. You shivered and took a deep breath relaxing all your muscles at once.
And then Joel immediately entered you halfway with a moan. And you didn't even have time to moan because his hand was on your mouth again.
"So fucking tight," he groaned looking down as his dick disappeared more and more inside you. You almost squealed when he pushed into you with a strong movement to the very end.
He didn't even give you a chance to get used to his size because he immediately started moving his hips. Back and forth every time panting heavily. His large hand completely drowned out your moans leaving you helpless.
"I fuckin’ hate condoms," he growled and sped up thrusting into you. He looked at your face noticing the tears that were gathering at the ends of your eyes. He smiled leaning closer. "I bet, without that latex, your pussy would feel like heaven."
You cried into his hand, and he only smiled wider and began thrusting into you harder, going as deep as he could. Until the fucking couch began to squeak with every movement.
He groaned throatily closing his eyes for a moment when he felt you tighten around him. And then his eyes met yours again. But he was looking at you differently.
"Do you know how your pink panties cut into that little cunt?" he growled, speeding up the movements of his hips.
The first tears fell from your eyes. You felt nothing but the weight of his body on yours and how his cock was bringing you closer and closer to fulfillment at a deadly pace.
"You might as well go naked on that fucking beach. I wouldn't see the difference," he groaned, burying his face in your neck and digging his fingers harder into your cheeks. "Oh fuck," he panted feeling how quickly you were able to bring him to such a state.
You felt his lips begin to place wet kisses on your neck and cheek until your eyes met again.
"You gonna come?" he asked, panting heavily. He had to be sure that you would come from his cock only. Otherwise he would have to try harder, but that was the least of his problems.
You nodded, looking at him with watery eyes. Joel smiled widely, pushing his cock deeper into you.
"Good girl," he purred, placing another kiss on your cheek before he removed his hand from your mouth. You inhaled and moaned when his lips immediately attacked yours in a deep kiss. You tangled your fingers in his hair, pulling him even closer, so that all your moans were lost in his mouth. Only now did he feel what a mess you were.
Your tongue trembled with each kiss, just like his cock in your pussy. His throaty moans echoed between your legs until you started to tremble. Joel hummed in pleasure as he felt you tighten around him more and more.
You chased your orgasm and he happily sped up his movements for you. Until you finally came with a broken squeal. Waves of orgasm ran through your body, loosening and tightening all your muscles over and over again.
Joel stopped, unable to move from how hard you were clenching around him. He growled as his cock quivered in response and he needed nothing more. He only pushed his hips harder against yours, coming with a throaty groan. Your contractions drew everything he could give you from him.
Your kisses slowly became slower and slower as you both came down from your peaks, breathing heavily. Joel pulled away, burying his face in your neck and trying to calm your racing heart. You gently ran your fingers through his hair, breathing slower and slower.
"You know what?" you asked in a whisper, breaking the silence.
"What?" he mumbled, his bass echoing through your body with a shiver.
"I'm on pills," you announced.
Silence fell. A soft smile bloomed on your lips as Joel lifted himself up on his hands to look at you. His skin was glistening with sweat.
“Good that you’re saying it now,” he retorted, rolling his eyes, and you snorted quietly in amusement.
Joel couldn’t help the smirk that spread across his lips and he leaned down, gently connecting your lips. His tongue grazed yours before he pulled away again.
“Then there has to be one more one time”he whispered against your lips and nuzzled your nose. “I need to feel that pussy without any barriers,” he purred and connected your lips again.

Inside the gold box is...
...a male grooming kit. From VoxTek.
It's got shavers (with spare razor blades), shaving cream, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, deodorants, soap bars, hand wash, lotions, suncream, sunglasses, a sunhat, a beach towel with a picture of Valentino in a mankini, toothbrushes, toothpaste, nail clippers, and a couple of washcloths with the Triple V monogram. Quite a lot is stuffed into that box.
The accompanying brochure shares some marketing spiel:
"Many men desire to look good for their special lady. Or gentleman. Or non-binary joyfriend. That's why we at VoxTek have cultived this extra-special summer care package!
It's our little way of saying thank you for being a loyal customer/employee/target practice for Valentino [delete as applicable]. As the hot summer months roll in for those in the northern hemisphere, we want to make your stay in Hell just that little bit sunnier!
VoxTek! Trust us with your body!"
The smaller text at the bottom reads, "Additional blades, lotions, and Valentino mankini towels sold separately. VoxTek cannot and will not be held responsible for any cuts, bruises, burns, loss of limb, dry skin, rashes, rotting teeth, stomach cramps, chickenpox, decapitations, relationship breakdown, or hilariously bad hairstyles that may occur while using VoxTek products."
There's a bonus present at the bottom too - a stuffed toy deer that's covered in red paint and has loads of pins sticking into it. The tag reads,
"Angel.
Give this to Alastor. Tell him he smells like an elephant's butt.
Vox.
P.S. Val says I'm hotter than you."
Upon finding the grooming paraphernalia within, Angel was pleasantly surprised. He had half expected this to be some kind of prank, orchestrated by someone who wanted to take him down a peg or two. Of course, curiosity still outweighed the potential risk - as always. And this time, it appeared to have paid off.
Raking through the items, he unfurled the towel and was met with the image of his bikini'd boss posing seductively - and promptly rolled it back up. Yeah, Niffty could have that one for cleaning rags. Or maybe Cherri would come over and burn it with him. It would be equally fun to see the moth cut to pieces and dunked in bleach as it would be to see him burnt to cinders.
As for the... other gift. There was no way Angel was giving that to Alastor. He was 99% sure it contained some kind of camera or microphone, but he wasn't about to start squeezing the pin-laden plush to find out.
He rolled his eyes at the final message. There was no doubt in his mind that no such words had been spoken, and Vox simply wanted to use this gift as an opportunity throw shade at Angel and Alastor - his two most detested hotel residents!
Who he went to the bother of sending gifts to.
What a freak.

Tumblr media
In the realm of cosmetic dentistry, achieving a radiant smile is often a top priority for individuals seeking to enhance their appearance and boost their confidence. Among the array of services offered by dental professionals, teeth whitening stands out as a popular choice for its ability to rejuvenate smiles quickly and effectively. In Las Cruces, residents have access to cutting-edge dental practices like University Family Dental, where a range of cosmetic treatments, including teeth whitening services, are offered to cater to diverse patient needs.
Teeth whitening, also known as dental bleaching, is a non-invasive procedure designed to lighten the color of teeth and remove stains or discoloration. While over-the-counter whitening products are available, professional whitening services provided by experienced dentists offer superior results with personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique dental characteristics.
University Family Dental in Las Cruces specializes in cosmetic dentistry, offering advanced teeth whitening solutions to help patients achieve brighter, more radiant smiles. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology and professional-grade whitening agents, their team of skilled dental professionals ensures safe and effective treatment outcomes.
One of the key advantages of seeking professional teeth whitening services is the customized approach to treatment. During an initial consultation, the dentist evaluates the patient's dental health, discusses their aesthetic goals, and recommends the most suitable whitening option. University Family Dental offers both in-office and take-home whitening solutions, allowing patients to choose the method that best fits their lifestyle and preferences.
In-office whitening procedures involve the application of a powerful whitening gel to the teeth, activated by a special light or laser to accelerate the bleaching process. This method typically yields immediate results, with teeth appearing several shades whiter after just one session. On the other hand, take-home whitening kits provide patients with custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel to use at their convenience. While results may take longer to achieve compared to in-office treatment, take-home kits offer flexibility and convenience for those with busy schedules.
Regardless of the chosen method, patients can trust University Family Dental to prioritize their safety and comfort throughout the whitening process.

Nobody Ends Up Dead in a Bathtub, Everyone Keeps Their Organs: Chapter 18
Summary: Alex is an ordinary, highly-introverted office worker. He clocks in and out and goes home to his little apartment he shares with his younger sister. He hasn’t dated in years. Until his co-workers set him up on a blind date.
The only issue is he and his date are not on the same page. At all.
While Alex thinks it’s a normal date, Damián is under the impression Alex is a client who paid to be there. No-so-quickly, they realize something is up. It’s all a prank. Damián is a sex worker Alex’s co-workers hired as a sick joke.
After reassuring that they’re both okay, Alex decides he wants revenge for both him and Damián. The plan is to use the stigma of sex work and start a 6-week, scandalous fake dating scheme with a big finale at the office Halloween party. Alex’s co-workers will be too horrified to try to prank him again. At least, that’s the plan.
You can also read this on AO3, or Patreon  (patrons also get chapters a week early along with bonus content). If you’re enjoying the story and want to support me in other ways, consider dropping me a message in my inbox or reblogging this post!
Tumblr media
“Can I steal a spoonful? I don’t have germs. I promise.”  
“Sure.”
Damián scraped Alex’s peach ice cream into the tip of his spoon. It was a lot better than he had expected. All his years eating ice cream, he had never once thought about trying peach. He didn’t think fruits and ice cream went together, but he stood corrected. It was sweet and a little tangy.
Ice cream was already an indulgence for him, and when he indulged, he went all out. He wanted chocolate. He wanted the most perceived-unhealthy item on the menu. It was a hard habit to break just like the occasional binge when he was in the middle of a fast.
It was just another obsession.
The peach was light on his tongue.
“That’s really good—ow. Ow. Fuck.”
He clamped his hands over his mouth and squeezed his eyes shut. Pain shot up from his teeth and into his face.
“You okay?” Alex asked.
“My teeth are a little sensitive, and I bleached them right before I left the house which only makes them more sensitive. So, in hindsight, ice cream was a bad idea.”
Alex looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn’t. Whatever it was, Damián was glad Alex didn’t say it. He rubbed his tongue over his teeth where his nerves shot pain through to his jaw. He had numbing gel in his cabinet at home. When he got in for the night, he could smear it on his teeth as was routine.
Damián slid his chocolate across the table to Alex. “Here, try mine.”
Alex took a modest scoop from Damián’s cup.
DamiĂĄn should have felt guilty about eating ice cream without an accompanying binge, but he was more concerned about having a nice night with Alex. It was great how Alex so easily helped him enjoy food, replacing the majority of his worry about calories with joy about the moment.
“Do you really like soccer?” Alex asked. “Were you telling the truth tonight?”
Ah. Wasn’t it hard to tell when Damián slipped in little bits of his real life into his appointments? Even Damián lost track sometimes depending on how deep the facade went.
“Yeah!” Damián said. “Leo’s more into it than I am, but I’ll watch it with him. What about you? Do you like sports?”
“Not really.”
“That’s fair.”
“I used to play soccer, though.”
Damián tucked his chin into his hand. That was interesting. “When?”
“Fifth grade. I quit after a year. All the other boys started to grow, and I didn’t.”
“Aw. I was a late-bloomer, too.”
“I never bloomed. You can see me. I only reached five-six.”
“It’s okay. My little brother was taller than me by the time he was 16. It hurt. We both got our height from our mother, but I guess he got a little bit more of it.”
“We love a tall woman.”
DamiĂĄn tapped his spoon against his cup.
“Sorry,” Alex said. “Maybe we don’t love a tall woman.”
DamiĂĄn continued tapping his spoon. It was hard to talk about.
“Do you not get along with your parents?”
Persistent, wasn’t he? Why was Alex so invested in him?
Dropping his voice to a whisper and looking around him, Alex asked, “Are you out to them?”
Damián laughed. “Yup. I’m out.”
“And they didn’t…”
“They weren’t super okay with it. And they were especially not okay with the escorting thing.”
Alex grimaced. “That’s rough. I’m sorry.”
“What about you? Are you and Eve out to your parents?”
“Yeah. And they’re these liberal hippies, so they’re cool with it. I don’t think they totally understand it, but you take what you can get.”
“Don’t I know it.”
Damián’s parents had been loving and doting up until the moment they found out. He had made the mistake of meeting with the son of his parents’ friends for a party. The boy had paid him to be a date to a school gathering, and they slipped away later that night to hook up—no charge. What had happened was totally organic. Two deeply-closeted boys were eager for anything they could get. The fact that they both could have found each other attractive was enough to make up their minds.
Damián would have never fallen for him for real. He had bad teeth, and his personality was a bit dull. Damiàn couldn’t have really blamed him for either. But still, seeing his large front teeth and listening to him give boring anecdotes about his classes would have become a turn-off for Damián as he got older.
The boy’s parents caught them with Damián stuck in his ass.
Damián’s parents had been rather dramatic about it. His mother was inconsolable for a month. Which might have also been in part due to the fact that his father had had a heart attack as soon as it all happened. Damián wasn’t even allowed to hang around the house those days to make sure Leo was being fed or going to school. An aunt quietly told him that it would be for the best if he gave everyone space.
And that was it. Damiån had spoken to his parents a handful of times since. 
He counted to three and left the conversation behind.
“So,” Damián said. He leaned back in his chair and twirled his spoon around. “We’re doing this revenge scheme for both us and Martin now, right? He seems nice enough. We need to fuck with the others on his behalf, too?”
“Yes.”
"Good.”
Alex rubbed his palms against his jeans, a nervous habit Damiån had easily picked up on. He tilted his head to get a better look. 
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I’m nervous about how this is going to come off,” Alex said. “Trying to trick people.”
“We just tricked a whole room of people.”
“I know, but what about a whole party?”
Damián shrugged. “Just act like you would act with any other partner. I always tell my clients it works best if you pretend like it’s all real. Just think about your last partner.”
Alex wiggled in his chair and looked out the window. The sidewalk was flooded with people.
“I’ve never—“ Alex sighed and rolled his head back to Damián, his face red. “I’ve never really dated anyone.”
“Oh.”
Damián wasn’t aware of that.
“Yeah. It’s never really been my choice, either.”
Damiån couldn��t believe that someone like Alex had ever had trouble finding a date. Once past his awkwardness, Alex was very attractive and caring.
He stopped himself from thinking about that any further. While the line between client and friend could be blurred easily, the line between client and partner wasn’t as easily, ethically disrupted.
“Well,” Damián said, “that’s everyone else’s loss.”
Alex kept his head tucked down. His ice cream was melting into a pool of peach around the edges of a solid iceberg. His spoon sunk low into his cup.
“Really,” Damián continued. “This entire time, I’ve expected you’ve had plenty of experience.”
“Getting set up on a humiliating date as a prank should have been your first clue that I don’t get much attention in that area.”
“I’m sure you’ve had some people have tried dating you. You must have just been blind to it because there’s no way someone like you hasn’t had dozens of admirers.”
Alex cringed. “No, I’m not all that special.”
“Don’t say that!” Damián didn’t mean to shout it, but he wouldn’t let Alex put himself down any further. “Don’t say that. You’re a good guy, Alex.”
Alex had a sort of sheepish look. He looked up at Damián with the face of a lost puppy. Damián wanted to go on and say all the things he thought about Alex—how he thought Alex was legitimately handsome with his dumpling face and his kind eyes and how Damián enjoyed all the time they were spending together.
“But I’m nothing like you,” Alex said.
“And? I haven’t had people knocking on my door, either.”
Alex started to say something, but he cut himself off. He looked almost angry that DamiĂĄn had contradicted him.
“I’ve only ever dated a few people. Actually dated,” Damián said. “I didn’t date in high school because of the whole in-the-closet thing.”
“That’s funny. I only dated in high school.”
Damián raised his hand, palm up. “Um, hold on. You just said you’ve never dated anyone.”
“Well, it doesn’t count, but it was the closest I’ve ever gotten. I went on a single date, and it was traumatizing.”
Alex told DamiĂĄn all about Mary Ellen and her slushie and how their date had ended so terribly. DamiĂĄn winced for him and told him that it was okay. Teenagers were scary and had no emotional regulation. Nothing about them made all that much sense. Alex had just caught in the crossfire of whatever else was going on with her.
“The last guy I dated,” Damián said with a little pang in his chest he was learning to forget, “was a real piece of work. I thought I had hit the jackpot with him because he was another sex worker. So, I thought, of course he understands me. There was no need to explain anything. But there were so many things about him that were just—they should have all been red flags, but I ignored them.”
Alex’s brows were furrowed and tense. “Like what?”
“He was a little too involved in knowing where I was all the time. It was a little weird. Obviously, he understood I was all over the place for work, but if I wasn’t meeting with a client, he wanted to know where I was, who I was with, all that shit. And to an extent, I understood. He said he wanted to make sure I was safe because I made him watch a bunch of true crime documentaries, but he—okay, you know what? Maybe that was partially my fault. Oh my God, wait, was I the problem?”
“No,” Alex said. “You can be paranoid without being controlling.”
“I don’t know if he wanted to control me, but he was clingy like that. The final straw was when he didn’t want Leo moving in with me.”
“Wait, what?”
“I don’t know! He was so upset about it. He said if Leo moved in, it would set us back from finding a place together.”
“How long did you guys date?”
“We had been together for a couple of years already. But obviously, I’m going to choose my brother over some guy.”
Damián fished out his phone. He didn’t know why he felt compelled to show Alex proof of Christian, but he pulled up the one picture he knew was still posted to Christian’s Instagram, buried deep beneath selfies and a new man.
“He was super hot.” Damián showed Alex the picture. He and Christian were snuggled up together outside a theater, smiling and wearing matching beanies. Christian was handsome as ever, strong jaw and beautiful brown eyes. His hair which was usually wrapped in man-bun was let down around his shoulders. A mutual friend had taken it on the eve before their first anniversary. “So maybe that was why I ignored all the red flags.”
“Eh.” Alex shrugged. “He’s okay. You could do better.”
Damián laughed. It was the absolute opposite of what others had told him after they split up. Damián couldn’t do better, his friends said, than the hot man who had money and a sense of humor. Christian had got him high-paying, returning clients. They told him using Leo was a petty reason to break up with him. Funny enough, Damián didn’t see much of any of those friends after the split.
“Honestly, he was a little dumb, too,” Damián said.
“Well, you can’t be with someone who’s dumb. Looks can only make up for so much.”
DamiĂĄn pressed the curve of his spoon into his ice cream, pushing an imprint into the top of the remaining mound. He stabbed through it and left his spoon standing up.
He didn’t miss Christian anymore. He had for a long time, but he had since gotten over it. Christian was in his past, and he could no longer remember how Christian felt laying in bed next to him or how his hips felt under his hands.
Looking across the table at Alex and wanting so desperately to say something more to him, DamiĂĄn knew for sure that Christian was best left behind him.
“Anyway, enough about my ex,” Damián said, “I think we’ll be okay at the party. We have a coworker of yours who’s totally convinced, and that’ll help us.”
“Are we gaslighting people?”
“No. No, it’s more like outright lying.”
“Okay. That’s more ethical.”
“I think so.”
Alex looked at his sad, melted cup of ice cream. He yawned, and his face scrunched up like a kitten’s. Damián told himself that he had to chill.
DamiĂĄn called a car for them and let it drop Alex off at his apartment first.
“Thanks for coming with me tonight,” Alex said as they were turning onto his street.
“I have never had so much fun playing Trivial Pursuit.”
They came to a stop. The driver swiped through a few songs on his phone until he landed on something with a heavy bass.
“I’ll see you Monday,” Damián said.
And, completely unlike him, Alex reached across the seats and squeezed Damián’s hand. He did it quickly and a bit weakly before sliding out of the car. But Damián still felt it all the way home and all the way up to his floor.
He dug for his key in his jacket pocket but instead of shoving it into the lock, he stopped and let his head fall into the door with a thud.
His relationship with Alex confused him. They were probably definitely friends by now, but he could tell it was hurling towards more.
“Did you get locked out?”
Damián straightened up and spun around. Danny stood outside his own door across the hall, giving Damián the same annoyed look that he always did. Danny never seemed happy—especially when it came to Damián. They were complete opposites. While Damián was pretty happy-go-lucky and generally cheery, Danny always looked one second away from snapping at anyone around him. They were both smart, though, and Damián thought that there was some mutual respect in that.
DamiĂĄn loved him. They had been neighbors for years, and DamiĂĄn had adored him from the first time he set eyes on his thinning hair and grouchy brow.
“No,” Damián said. “I’m not locked out.”
“Are you just being dramatic?” Danny asked.
“Yes.”
Danny sighed and shoved his key in his door. “Are you okay?”
“No.”
“Is it life or death?”
“No.”
“I’m going to regret asking you this, but do you want to come in for a drink?”
Damián, social butterfly that he was, didn’t even give a verbal answer and simply twirled around and followed Danny into his apartment. He loved every chance he got to step into Danny’s apartment. It was sophisticated with full bookshelves and sleek, dark countertops. It was slightly bigger than Damián’s, or it at least felt like that since Danny didn’t have a roommate.
The overhead, hanging lights reflected off the black counter Damián took a seat at. Danny didn’t turn on many lights which gave the whole place a dramatic air. Like an interrogation room on a TV show.
Danny pulled out a bottle of whiskey from his cabinet and two matching tumbler glasses. DamiĂĄn was very impressed that he had matching glasses for his alcohol.
“What happened?” Danny asked.
DamiĂĄn had never told Danny about being a sex worker, but he was sure that Danny knew. There were a few times when they had run into each other in the hall, Danny on his way to work and DamiĂĄn on his way home, still dressed and exhausted. Danny would ask if he was okay, quiet, his usual crass demeanor dropping for just a brief moment.
“There’s a guy,” Damián said, “I think I’m falling for him?”
Danny glared. “Is that it? Do you think that’s worthy of a drink?”
“Yes?”
Danny shoved the glass at him. Damián was never that great at telling the value of alcohols, but he knew that Danny had high-quality liquor. It wasn’t watery and sugary like the whiskey he and Leo bought.
Damián coughed. Danny’s whiskey stung his throat and stomach before it settled down to a comfortable heat.
“If you throw up in my apartment, I’m kicking you out.” Danny sat down across from Damián. There was a waft of cigarette smoke that came from his clothes. Damián wanted to smoke really bad. “Don’t you have real problems in your life?”
“I do. And this is one of them. If you don’t mind, I’d appreciate your sage advice as an older gay. Don’t you want the younger generation to thrive?”
“Don’t try guilting me with that bullshit,” Danny said. He took a sip of his whiskey.
Fine. Why do you think you’re falling in love with this guy? And don’t you fall in love with everything? You see a pigeon, and you’re starstruck.”
“Pigeons are unique creatures. They have a long, loving history with humans, and—“
“I don’t care. They’re flying rats.”
“Rats have been wrongly vilified for centuries. They can actually be sweet, and they’re quite social.”
“If you don’t tell me about this boy in the next 30 seconds I’m going to grab your scrawny ass—“
“His name is Alex.”
Danny nodded. “How’d you two meet?”
The whole thing would have been easier if DamiĂĄn could tell Danny everything.
“It’s complicated,” Damián said. “But we’re supposed to be totally platonic—I guess. We’re doing a work thing together, I caught feelings, and now we’re seeing each other more, and everything is complicated.”
“Why does it matter how you feel?”
“It makes things messy.”
“Messy how?”
“It just does.”
“That’s not a reason. Does he like you back?”
“He might?”
“I can’t see the issue beyond you just being fussy.”
“It makes things,” Damián waved his hands around, “complicated.”
“You’re old enough to know that any relationship is complicated.”
Danny did have a point. His relationship with Christian was complicated for reasons beyond the control thing. His relationships before Christian were full of messy schedules and distance that didn’t work out. One boy, unfortunately, ended up being a Republican, which shook Damián up so much that he ended things via text and blocked his number.
Alex was a different type of complicated, though. Damiån had never pursued a client. He had also never totally befriended a client before, either. The closest he had ever gotten was Diego. 
“Act on your feelings if you’re serious about this,” Danny said. “It’s that simple.”
“Simple?”
“You’re overthinking things. You’ll have to get over this whole ‘it’s complicated’ thing like you’re a teenager and move on. Either suck it up and be alone or tell him.”
“Ugh. But that’s work.”
“It’s not that hard, Damián.”
“Uh-huh. And how’s your romantic life going, Danny?”
Danny huffed. “We’re not talking about that.”
“You know,” Damián ran his fingers around the edge of his glass. “Mr. Marcel downstairs is pretty handsome.”
“He’s 70.”
“And he retired well. You could be a sugar baby.”
“No—shut up. Tell Alan how you feel and move on. There’s no point in getting so worked up over a crush. You’re 30.”
He was spot on. There was no way of knowing how things would go unless Damián pursued something. But also—
“His name is Alex.”
“I do not care what his name is.”
“Oh. Okay.”
“Finish your drink.”
Damián sipped at his drink until it was all gone, and his belly was warm, and his head felt clearer but a little light. He hadn’t eaten enough that day to be drinking.
“Go home.”
Danny often spoke in demands.
DamiĂĄn got to his feet, let himself adjust to a new position and walked towards the door. Right next to his front door, Danny had hung an oil painting of two naked men embracing, their penises totally visible and erect.
Damián like to look at it every time he was invited inside. He loved the finer details of it. The men’s expressions were so tender. Their brows were delicate. A dab of pink gave them faint blushes along their cheeks. There were things about them—messy hair and a little roll around one of their hips—that Damián appreciate the artist for including.
It was a beauty DamiĂĄn coveted. He wanted beauty like than more than anything on Earth.
Danny was right. He had to say something. He had to make a move.

Professional Teeth Whitening vs. At-Home Teeth Whitening: Which is Right for You?
Tumblr media
A bright, dazzling smile is often associated with good health, confidence, and vitality. However, over time, various factors can cause teeth to become discoloured, leading many people to seek out teeth-whitening solutions. In this blog, we'll delve into the causes of discoloured teeth, how teeth whitening works, its effectiveness, and the differences between professional teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening options.
Causes of Discolored Teeth
Before diving into teeth whitening methods, it's essential to understand what causes teeth to become discoloured in the first place. Some common culprits include:
1. Staining Foods and Beverages: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain fruits and vegetables contain pigments that can stain tooth enamel over time.
2. Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can lead to stubborn stains on teeth.
3. Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque and tartar to build up, contributing to discolouration.
4. Aging: As we age, tooth enamel naturally wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
5. Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, can cause teeth to darken or stain.
6. Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to having thicker or thinner enamel, which can affect tooth colour.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening treatments aim to remove stains and discolouration from the enamel and dentin of teeth, restoring a brighter, whiter appearance. Most whitening products contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the active bleaching agent. These chemicals break down stains into smaller, less concentrated particles, making the teeth appear whiter.
Does Teeth Whitening Work on All Teeth?
While teeth whitening can effectively remove many types of stains, it may not be suitable for everyone or every type of discolouration. For example:
Yellow Teeth: Teeth that have yellowed due to ageing or surface stains typically respond well to whitening treatments.
Brown or Gray Teeth: Teeth with brown or grey discolouration, especially those caused by medications or trauma, may be less responsive to whitening and may require alternative treatments like veneers or bonding.
Dental Restorations: Teeth whitening treatments do not work on dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, or veneers. These materials do not respond to bleaching agents, so they may need to be replaced to match the newly whitened teeth.
 Teeth Whitening Options
When it comes to teeth whitening, there are two primary options available: professional teeth whitening and at-home teeth whitening kits.
Professional Teeth Whitening:
Performed by Dentists: Professional teeth whitening is typically performed by a dentist or dental hygienist in a dental office setting.
Stronger Bleaching Agents: Dentists use higher concentrations of bleaching agents than those found in over-the-counter products, allowing for more dramatic results.
Customized Treatment: Dentists can tailor the whitening treatment to the individual patient, taking into account factors such as tooth sensitivity and desired level of whitening.
Faster Results: Professional whitening treatments often yield faster results, with noticeable improvement after just one session.
At-Home Teeth Whitening:
Over-the-Counter Kits: At-home whitening kits are available at pharmacies and grocery stores and typically include whitening gels, strips, or trays.
ower Concentrations: These kits contain lower concentrations of bleaching agents compared to professional treatments, which may result in slower or less dramatic whitening.
Convenience: At-home whitening kits offer the convenience of being able to whiten your teeth on your schedule, without needing to visit a dentist's office.
Cost-Effective: At-home whitening kits are generally more affordable than professional treatments, making them a popular option for budget-conscious individuals.
Differences Between Professional Teeth Whitening and At-home Teeth Whitening
1. Effectiveness: Professional treatments tend to deliver faster and more dramatic results due to the use of higher concentrations of bleaching agents.
2. Customization: Professional whitening treatments are customized to each patient's needs, while at-home kits offer a one-size-fits-all approach.
3. Supervision: Professional whitening is performed under the supervision of a dental professional, ensuring safety and efficacy.
both professional teeth whitening and at-home whitening kits can effectively brighten your smile, but the best option for you will depend on your budget, desired level of whitening, and personal preferences. Consulting with a dentist can help you determine the most suitable whitening method for your individual needs. Remember, a radiant smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression, so choose the option that works best for you and enjoy the benefits of a brighter, whiter smile!

Lars II
That’s how it usually went. People get lucky, break through from the amateurs just to die in the first real fight. 
Lars didn’t take any pleasure in those fights, it was just business to him. Only those with superhuman abilities managed to get a permanent slot in the fighting roster.
“I need to remember to send flowers to Dylan senior, maybe that cute little flower shop two streets over is still open.” he murmured to himself, face lifted towards the shower head.
Getting out of it was always the hardest part of having a hot shower. The warm water reminded him of home. He always imagined himself back on those black sandy beaches of Grivala, playing in the shallow pools with his sister. It didn’t feel like it was a few hundred years ago, but time is a cold and uncaring force. No matter how spiritual or physical, all is grinded to dust in the end.
The slight creak of the shower knob broke Lars’s thoughts as he turned off the water and walked back into the arena locker room, one hand on the towel around his waist, ducking to not hit his horns on the ceiling beams. 
“There’s my champ! You absolutely destroyed that kid! The cleanup crew is still trying to get his brains out from under the bleachers!”
There was a short middle aged man sitting next to Lars’s duffel bag. He looked like a used car salesman with a teeth bleaching addiction. The thinning hair on his head was slicked back with gel and the walrus moustache that adorned the upper lip looked carefully combed. His ash grey suit jacket was a tad too small for his slightly chubby dad bod.  
“Hey Frank. The fight was alright, just another meal on the table for me.” Lars half-heartedly responded while shuffling over to his bag. 
“About that, the board is cutting your salary” Lars looked over in surprise.
“Again? I barely have enough to feed Kibbles as is.” Frank took his left hand out of his suit jacket, handing Lars a slightly crumpled up envelope. 
“This is all you’re getting champ, you’re becoming old news.” Lars slowly grabbed the envelope out of Frank’s sausage fingers while looking at him with an air of disbelief. 
“Old news? I’ve been doing my best for the last 25 years! I’ve been training, I’ve been meeting fans, I’ve even been interviewed by the police multiple times and I covered for you guys!”
The exasperation was clearly audible in Lars’s response, but Frank didn’t seem to care. 
“Your fights are boring, you always win! Especially in rookie fights like tonight, the kid didn’t stand a chance and everyone knew it! You’re costing us money in the betting pool, you’re too good.”
Lars knew there was no use arguing, Frank had made up his mind.
“Here’s the deal champ, either you keep doing what you’re doing and you will see less and less of your revenue until you have no choice but to leave on your own.”
Frank vaguely gestures to the envelope in Lars’ hands.
“Or you choose the smart option and take a dramatic dive.”
There it was. The board had nearly no use for Lars. All that was left was to wring the fighter of all potential and toss him to the side of the road to eternal greed.
“Frank, this is the D.D.G.! The dimensional death games! Taking a loss would mean someone will stomp my head until they break my horns.”
“Ah don’t sweat the details. You’re a big guy, you look like you can handle a few skull fractures. And besides, it’s just a name, not all losses end with a death.”
The dismissive tone in Frank’s voice made it clear that these were the two options available and Lars had to deal with that.
“Also if you choose the sexy option two, you’ll share in the profit. You’ll be set for life!”
A defeated sigh escaped Lars’s lips as he turned his attention back to his bag.
“Give me some time to think about it please, this is something I don’t want to decide on a whim.”
Frank looked clearly content with himself as he heard those words. “You have one week to decide. Also you won’t get any fights until you give me that answer.”
Lars silently nodded.
“Great, so glad we understand each other.”
Frank stood up and walked past Lars towards the exit, patting him on the back in passing.
“I’m trusting you to make the right choice, don’t make me regret ever sponsoring you.” The door creaked and fell back into the lock with a soft click. Lars was alone once more. He stood there for a moment just looking at the door, trying to process what this all meant for him, the envelope still in his hands.
“Right, the flowers.”
The hulking figure came into action, quickly towelling himself off and getting dressed in his everyday-clothes. The xxl denim jeans barely fit his waist and his black turtleneck stretched dangerously over his belly and arm muscles as he opened the locker door and let it fall closed behind him with a soft click.

This is an important life hack/PSA from your dentist friend: if you use whitening strips, and are also annoyed that they are expensive af
Cut them in half! Most of them will come with an upper arch and lower arch strip, so literally cut both the upper and the lower in half. They’ll still cover the front part of your teeth (which is basically what whitening is about anyway), and will prevent that icky overflow of the whitening gel onto your back teeth and gums (which can cause sensitivity and unwanted bleaching of tissue). And you’ll stretch your money by getting double the amount of uses from one pack!

Achieving a Radiant Smile: The Secrets of Teeth Whitening
A bright, white smile is often associated with youth, health, and beauty. However, factors such as aging, lifestyle habits, and certain foods and beverages can cause teeth to become discolored or stained over time. Fortunately, teeth whitening treatments have become increasingly popular and accessible, offering a way to transform dull teeth into dazzling pearls. In this blog, we will explore the secrets of teeth whitening, including the different methods, benefits, and debunking common myths surrounding this cosmetic dental procedure.
Understanding teeth discoloration:
Before diving into teeth whitening techniques, it's essential to understand why teeth become discolored. The two main types of tooth discoloration are extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains occur on the surface of the teeth and are commonly caused by consuming dark-colored foods and beverages, smoking, or poor oral hygiene. Intrinsic stains, on the other hand, occur within the tooth structure and are often a result of factors like aging, genetics, certain medications, or dental trauma.
Teeth whitening methods:
In-office professional whitening: This is the most effective and quickest way to achieve a noticeably whiter smile. During an in-office whitening procedure, a dental professional applies a bleaching agent directly to the teeth and activates it with a special light or laser. The process usually takes about an hour and can significantly lighten the teeth in just one session.
At-home whitening kits: Dentists also offer at-home whitening kits, which include custom-made trays and professional-grade bleaching gel. Patients wear the trays for a specified amount of time each day, typically for a few weeks. At-home kits provide gradual whitening results and allow for more convenience and flexibility.
Over-the-counter products: Supermarkets and drugstores offer a wide range of over-the-counter teeth whitening products, such as whitening strips, gels, toothpaste, and mouthwashes. While these options are more affordable and readily available, their effectiveness may vary, and the results may not be as dramatic as with professional treatments.
Benefits of teeth whitening:
Enhanced self-confidence: A bright smile can boost self-esteem and confidence. Teeth whitening can give you the assurance to smile freely and proudly, knowing that your teeth are radiant and beautiful.
Youthful appearance: Teeth tend to darken and yellow with age. Whitening treatments can help reverse the effects of aging on your smile, making you appear younger and more vibrant.
Improved oral hygiene habits: Many individuals who undergo teeth whitening treatments become more conscious of their oral health and hygiene. This often leads to improved brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, as they strive to maintain their newly whitened smile.
Debunking common myths about teeth whitening:
Myth: Teeth whitening damages enamel.
Fact: When performed correctly and under professional supervision, teeth whitening treatments are safe and do not harm the enamel. The bleaching agents used in whitening products have been extensively tested and approved by dental authorities.
Myth: Teeth whitening results are permanent.
Fact: While teeth whitening can produce long-lasting results, the effects are not permanent. Over time, teeth may gradually darken due to natural aging and lifestyle factors. However, periodic touch-up treatments can help maintain a bright smile.
Myth: Teeth whitening is only for celebrities or those with perfect teeth.
Fact: Teeth whitening is suitable for anyone who wishes to enhance the appearance of their smile. It is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that can benefit individuals with various types of tooth discoloration.
Conclusion:
Teeth whitening offers a simple and effective way to transform your smile, boost your confidence, and regain a youthful appearance. With professional treatments available both in-office and at home, achieving a brighter smile is more accessible than ever. By understanding the different methods and debunking common myths, you can make informed decisions about teeth whitening and enjoy the benefits of a radiant smile that leaves a lasting impression. Remember to consult with a dental professional to determine the most suitable whitening option for your unique needs and to ensure safe and optimal results.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Teeth-Whitening Product
Introduction
Achieving a brighter, whiter smile is a goal for many people, but with so many teeth-whitening products on the market, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one is the best for you. In this blog post, we will go over the different types of teeth-whitening products available and provide tips on how to choose the perfect one for your needs.
Tumblr media
Types of Teeth-Whitening Products
There are a number types of teeth-whitening products available in the market today. Let’s dive in and look through some common types:
1. Whitening Toothpaste - This product,  typically contains mild abrasives and special chemicals that help to remove surface stains on teeth. While they can be effective for maintaining already white teeth, they may not be strong enough to remove deep stained teeth.
2. Whitening Strips - These are  are thin, flexible strips coated with a bleaching agent that is applied directly to the teeth. They are generally easy to use and can produce noticeable results in as little as a week. However, they may not be suitable for people with sensitive teeth, and it can be challenging to apply them evenly.
3. Whitening Trays - They  are custom-fitted trays that are filled with a bleaching gel and worn over the teeth for a certain amount of time each day. They are more effective than toothpaste or strips, but they can be uncomfortable to wear and may cause sensitivity.
4. In-Office Whitening - In-office whitening is a professional treatment done by a dentist that involves applying a high-concentration bleaching gel to the teeth. It is the most effective and fastest method of teeth whitening, but it is also the most pricy.
So, How Do I Choose the Perfect Teeth-Whitening Product?
Now that you know the different types of teeth-whitening products available, here are some tips on how to choose the perfect one for you:
 1. Consider Your Budget - One of the essential factors to consider when choosing a teeth-whitening product is your budget. Whitening toothpaste and strips are generally the most affordable options, while trays and in-office whitening treatments can be more expensive.
Whitening toothpaste can cost anywhere between $5 to $20 per tube, while whitening strips can range from $20 to $60 for a pack. Whitening trays can cost anywhere from $100 to $300, depending on the brand and whether they are custom-fitted or not. In-office whitening treatments can range from $300 to $1,000 or more.
It's important to keep in mind that while in-office whitening treatments may be more expensive, they are also the most effective and produce results much faster than other methods.
2. Look for a Recommended Product -When choosing a teeth-whitening product, it's important to choose one that is recommended by dentists or has positive reviews from customers. It is wise to look for products that have the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance, as this means that the product has been tested and proven to be safe and effective.
Remember to always do an online research and read reviews  from other customers to get a better idea of how well a particular product works. However, keep in mind that everyone's teeth are different, so what works for one person may not work for another.
3. Determine the Severity of Your Stains - The severity of your stains will also play a role in determining which teeth-whitening product is best for you. If you have mild surface stains caused by things like coffee or tea, smoking, or aging, then whitening toothpaste or strips may be sufficient.
However, if you have deeper stains or discoloration caused by things like medication, trauma, or genetics, then whitening trays or in-office whitening treatments may be more effective.
4. Consider Sensitivity - If you have sensitive teeth or gums, it's essential to choose a teeth-whitening product that is gentle and won't cause discomfort. Whitening toothpaste and strips are generally safe for people with sensitivity, as they contain lower concentrations of bleaching agents.
However, if you have more severe sensitivity, then trays or in-office whitening treatments may not be the best option. It's important to talk to your dentist if you have concerns about sensitivity before choosing a teeth-whitening product.
5. Check for Ingredients - Before choosing a teeth-whitening product, it's important to check the ingredients to ensure they are safe and effective. The most common bleaching agents used in teeth-whitening products are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is a stronger bleaching agent and is typically used in in-office whitening treatments. Carbamide peroxide is a milder bleaching agent and is found in most over-the-counter teeth-whitening products.
It's important to note that while these ingredients are generally safe for use, they can cause sensitivity and irritation if used too frequently or in high concentrations.
6. Consult with a Dentist - If you're unsure which teeth-whitening product is best for you, it's always a good idea to consult with a dentist. They can evaluate your teeth and recommend a product that is safe and effective for your particular needs.
They can also help you determine the cause of your stains and recommend lifestyle changes or treatments to prevent further staining.
Conclusion
Choosing the perfect teeth-whitening product requires careful consideration of your budget, the severity of your stains, sensitivity, ingredients, and consulting with a dentist if needed.
By keeping these factors in mind and choosing a recommended product, you can achieve a brighter, more confident smile.

How To Remove A Dollar Store Plunger From Your Rectal Cavity:
Surely the situation isn’t as embarrassing as it seems. You went to the bathroom, it was dark, and your inconsiderate spouse left the plunger stuck in the toilet. Maybe you were in the shower, trying to plunge the drain and suddenly slipped. However this happened, you can avoid the embarrassment of an emergency room visit with this simple guide.
Step One: Assess your situation. How deep is the plunger stuck in there? If it’s not too deep, pulling it out should be easy with a bit of lube.
Step Two: Lube the plunger (and your nether regions). It’s important to use lube in the removal of any item from the rectum as internal tearing might occur. If you don’t have any lube specifically for intimate areas, try any of the following:
Cooking oil, Vaseline, hair gel, aloe Vera gel, mustard, orange juice, etc. Icy hot and toothpaste also have the added benefit of helping with the pain of object removal.
Step Three: Grasp the end of the plunger that is not currently inside of you firmly. You’re going to want to stop and take a deep breath here to prepare yourself for any discomfort that may come with the process. Here’s some ideas to help you relax:
Go out and show your friends your new tail. They’ll find it hilarious! Make sure to show all of your family too, especially your grandparents. You wouldn’t want them to miss out on the fun! Anal humor is timeless and heavily appreciated by older generations due to them having nothing better to laugh at before technology took over.
Have a drink or 17. If you’re gonna be lubricating your butthole anyway, might as well use some social lubricant to make the experience with yourself less humiliating.
Make yourself a cup of coffee, taking several laxatives in the process. This will help to relax your colon and encourage it to push the intruding plunger out.
Try to push it deeper. Experimenting with yourself is the safest and easiest way to understand your own sexuality. If you enjoy the plunger being there, consider doing it more often (after you’ve figured out how to remove it, that is). You never know, the plunger may even make its way out of you through your mouth if you push hard enough.
Step Four: Pull the plunger out with aggressive force. Surely you remember losing your baby teeth, rip the thing out like you would’ve a loose tooth that wouldn’t fall out. Attaching a string to a doorknob may help get it out.
Step Five: If the plunger is still stuck inside of you, considering using power tools to cut the plunger yourself. Using a mirror should help with this part. Chainsaws are a bit overpowered, especially with an object as fragile as a cheap plunger, but will get the job done quickly. Try to cut the plunger as close to your anus as possible, as you will need to wait for the rest of it to pass naturally with this method.
Step Six: Once you have the plunger out, sanitize it well, especially if you plan to reinsert it later. Using a potent mixture of bleach and ammonia should destroy any germs and bacteria on the plunger, destroying your ability to breathe in the process. This method is especially helpful if you’re fed up with constantly finding plungers in your rectum.
Step Seven: Insert a tampon into your rectum. Ideally, it should be soaked with at least 91% isopropyl alcohol. This will sanitize the possible internal wounds you have along with stopping any possible bleeding. You may feel a bit sick and dizzy from this method, but you’ve been through a lot recently, it’s normal for your body to react poorly.
Step Eight: Remove the tampon with excessive force after letting it sit for 5-7 minutes. This will remove any internal scabs that may have formed, leading to a faster healing process. Afterwards, putting a soothing cream such as preparation H or diaper rash ointment around the anus. If you’re in a pinch, try using orajel, icy hot, or toothpaste. If you’re really in a pinch, buttchugging mouthwash may also help. All you need is a funnel and a bottle of Listerene to sanitize and soothe your poor colon.

Over-the-Counter vs. Professional Teeth Whitening: Which is Better?
A radiant smile can significantly enhance one’s appearance and self-confidence, leading many to seek ways to achieve whiter teeth. Two primary categories stand out among the myriad options available: over-the-counter (OTC) teeth whitening products and professional whitening services offered by dental practitioners. Each method has its odvantages and drawbacks, making it essential for individuals to weigh their options carefully before deciding which route to take.
Tumblr media
Understanding Teeth Discoloration
Before delving into the comparison between OTC and professional whitening, it is essential to understand the causes of teeth discolouration. Teeth can become stained or discoloured for various reasons, including dietary choices, lifestyle habits, and even natural ageing processes. Common culprits include beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and certain medications. Additionally, the natural enamel on teeth can wear down over time, exposing the darker dentin beneath and contributing to an overall yellowish appearance.
Recognising the cause of discolouration is crucial, as it can influence the choice of whitening method. For instance, surface stains may respond well to OTC products, while deeper stains may require the expertise of a professional. Understanding one’s specific needs is the first step in determining the best approach to teeth whitening.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products
Over-the-counter teeth whitening products include a range of options, such as whitening toothpaste, strips, gels, and mouthwashes. These products are widely available at pharmacies, supermarkets, and online and are often marketed for convenience and affordability. For many individuals, the allure of brightening their smile at home without needing a dental appointment is appealing.
One of the primary advantages of OTC whitening products is their accessibility. They can be purchased without a prescription, and many consumers appreciate the flexibility of whitening their teeth at their own pace. Additionally, the cost of these products is usually significantly lower than professional treatments, making them an attractive option for those on a budget.
However, while OTC products can yield results, they often take longer to show noticeable effects compared to professional treatments. The concentration of whitening agents in OTC products is typically lower, which can limit their effectiveness, especially for individuals with stubborn stains. Moreover, improper use of these products can lead to uneven results or potential damage to tooth enamel and gums if not used according to instructions.
Professional Teeth Whitening Services
Professional teeth whitening, on the other hand, is conducted by qualified dental practitioners and typically employs more vital bleaching agents than those found in OTC products. This method can be performed in a dental office or through custom at-home kits provided by the dentist. The primary advantage of professional whitening lies in its effectiveness; many patients notice significant improvements in the brightness of their smile after just one session.
During an in-office whitening procedure, the dentist assesses the patient’s oral health, discusses their whitening goals, and provides tailored treatment options. Using professional-grade products, combined with the dentist’s expertise, ensures a safe and effective whitening process. Furthermore, the results from professional treatments are often longer-lasting, as the more potent agents can penetrate deeper stains that OTC products may not be able to reach.
Another benefit of professional teeth whitening is the care and guidance provided throughout the process. Dentists can monitor the patient’s progress, making adjustments as necessary to achieve the desired outcome while minimising the risk of side effects, such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. This personalised approach can lead to a more satisfying and successful whitening experience.
Weighing the Pros and Cons
When considering whether to opt for over-the-counter or professional teeth whitening, evaluating each method's pros and cons is essential. OTC products are convenient and cost-effective, making them an appealing choice for many. However, they may deliver a different effectiveness or speed than professional treatments. OTC options may suffice for individuals with mild discolouration or those seeking a subtle enhancement.
Conversely, professional teeth whitening provides more dramatic results and particularly benefits those with significant stains or discolouration. Investing in professional treatment can be worthwhile for individuals seeking a brighter, more confident smile. However, it is also essential to consider the cost and time commitment associated with dental visits.
Additionally, personal preferences play a significant role in the decision-making process. Some individuals may prefer the comfort and convenience of whitening at home, while others may value the expertise and immediate results that come with professional care. When making a choice, it is essential to reflect on individual circumstances, including budget, time availability, and desired outcomes.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
Maintaining a bright smile requires ongoing care and attention regardless of the chosen method. After undergoing a whitening treatment, whether OTC or professional, it is essential to adopt good oral hygiene practices to prolong results. Regular brushing and flossing and routine dental check-ups are foundational to maintaining oral health and the brightness of one’s smile.
Moreover, individuals should be mindful of their dietary choices following a whitening treatment. Consuming staining beverages, smoking, or neglecting oral care can quickly diminish the results achieved through whitening. Implementing lifestyle changes, such as drinking through a straw or rinsing the mouth with water after consuming staining foods and beverages, can help preserve that newly acquired brightness.
In teeth whitening, both over-the-counter and professional options have their place. The best choice ultimately depends on individual needs, preferences, and circumstances. By understanding the differences between these methods, individuals can make informed decisions that align with their goals for a brighter, healthier smile. Embracing the journey of teeth whitening can lead to newfound confidence, opening doors to social interactions and personal achievements that may have felt out of reach before.
