The “before” phase is a familiar one. You’ve got stains that look like a topographical map of your morning espresso habit. There’s a yellowish tint near the gums that no amount of fancy toothpaste seems to touch.
You smile at your reflection, and it looks like you’ve been chewing on a dirt clod from the garden. It’s not a great look, especially when you’re trying to make a good impression at a wedding or a job interview.
Let's be honest, you’re desperate. You’ve watched five YouTube videos of people calling this stuff a “miracle dust.” You’re ready to trade in your smooth, chemically whitening strips for a gritty, DIY experiment.
