I've seen some shit. I've covered wars, you know.
Thanks for being a dentist though, or a student thereof. It's very much needed in this world and I don't think I tell my dentist that enough.

I'll tell her that once I'm back in Norway

How can I get my teeth pearly white like a Hollywood actor, even with braces on.

Bleaching kits. Dentists can do several kinds, the take-home kit is often the most common, followed by chairside whitening, which is less common, followed by laser whitening, which is the least common, the most expensive and the most effective.

Do you get reduced costs on whitening if you're a dentist?

Did you know that teeth are not naturally white?

They're supposed to have a tint of yellowish colour to them. Using methods such as bleaching makes your enamel weaker.

I knew that making them white weakened them.

White teeth look weird anyway.

I can literally get them for myself at a ~95% discount due to my GDC registration.

The enamel does not weaken, but the nerves in your teeth may become sensitive, which is why we advise you use Sensodyne toothpaste in the tray, post-bleach.

Not really, as long as your dairy is balanced. I don't even like milk, so I eat a fuckton of cheese to compensate.
