Got my teeth professionally whitened at the dentist’s office…a product called Zoom. My teeth had a typical yellow stain to them that occurs over time due to coffee and other foods, but nothing horrible. When they “whitened” them, what I got was a lighter ivory color!! Granted, it looks better, but is NOT the whiter color I see on others who have this done…even those who use the drugstore kits! Did I get a bad job done on my teeth?? I am considering using the kit I bought to continue this process. I am disappointed!! Tell me your experience!!

I just bought this new lip plumper and every time i put it on it makes my lips tingle and feel kinda numb why is that?

i have really thin and weak hair i can see my scalp under the light ( im a male aged 16) i am going to thyroid checked up by the doctors. will my hair thicken if they cure thyroid disease? and if not what is the right hair vitamin for me which is available in holland and barrets. THANKS

OK I’m in my early twenties, male, and 5′8″, and weigh 173 lbs. I need to get down to 155lbs. Thing is my body is thin…just not toned. All of my fat is on my stomach…and although I don’t have a huge gut that hangs over while I stand up, it is still there. I do have fat on my arms/legs…but just LITTLE pinch fats. Not like overhang fat on my arms lol. Question is… will I lose that little bit of fat on my arms (ie arms get toned) before my belly fati s reduced? How long does the arms take to lose fat/get toned before the belly fat comes off?

P.S. I’m working out, ie treadmill, four days a week for 30-45 mins each time. I’ll throw swimming in to th mix when it gets warm enough too

Hi, please answer these questions for me.
1)How to i stop grey hair? I have very few grey hair but it still bothers me.(Please dun ask me to dye my hair or put some weird stuff on my scalp)
2)What causes grey hair?
3)If i pluck out my grey hair, will the new hair grows out to be grey?
4)If i leave my grey hair alone, will it goes black back if i improve my diet (or provide sufficient nutrients to my hair)?

Lets say I’m 6′2″ 205pd, Italian guy in great shape, a sparkling smile, fabulous hair….tall, dark n handsome… And I just saved your life. Do you sleep with me?

I had my teeth whitened by a dentist using BriteSmile. The results were off the chart: truly celebrity white! Then, that night (about 10 hours after treatment), I was out with my boss and had 4 light beers. I had been given a post-treatment care card that states, “Teeth have a protective layer called the protein pellicle. This layer contains the surface stains and is removed during treatment. It takes 12-24 hours for this barrier to fully develop again. During this period, avoid the items listed on the back of this card.” Although beer is not clear or white, it was NOT listed as a “Don’t” on this card. And, “Red Wine” IS listed as a “Don’t”, but white wine is NOT. Which led me to think that beer is OK. But when I saw my teeth in the mirror the next AM, they were streaked with pale tan stains! My dentist said “we’ll do what we can” and 2 days later he applied 2 more 20-min. sessions, to no avail! Since these stains occured without the “protein pellicle” in place, are they now permanent?

I fell asleep last night crying and today in the morning i woke up with super puffy eyes HOw do I get rid of puffy eyes?

So I would like to get my teeth a little whiter….ever since I got my braces off the second time, they never really came out that white. Everytime I go to get my teeth cleaned they get clean, but not any whiter.
I don’t want to go to the dentist to get them whitened bc it’s cosmetic, expensive, and not covered by our insurance….and my mom would have to pay for it. I brush my teeth like twice a day, and whenever else they need to, so it’s not b/c I dont brush my teeth. It’s just the fact that I had my braces on twice and the second time I got them off they just did not come out as clean as before. I’ve tried multiple whitening toothpastes…and I know crest white strips work b/c i have tried those before also.
So what I was wondering was:
a) Is there a good whitening toothpaste out there that you have used and personally seen your teeth get whiter?
b)Any other product that is not too expensive that I can buy at the store.(Cheaper than crest white strips or off brand)
