			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A fabulous smile is an imperative convenience to enjoy.  Most disappointingly, many people are distraught of their smile because of yellow teeth.  The good news is that there are now ways to whiten your teeth with little or no expense.</p>
<p>Free teeth whitening trail offers  can be ordered online easily.  One trick is to use several offers to get better results.  Makers of teeth whitening promote incredible deals just to get you try their whitening kit.  The key most shoppers use is to discontinue the offer before the trial period is over.  Even more diligent teeth whitening seekers will also use special promotional codes to receive their free teeth whitening sample kits for as little as one dollar.  By using more than one free trial offer, consumers are able to up to several weeks of whitening samples while only parting with a couple of dollars.</p>
<p>Since many dental associations suggest using whiteners only a couple of times per year, many savvy shoppers get enough teeth whitening product to make it through the entire year.</p>
<p>Many of people who have used their free teeth whitening samples say that results are comparable to what you would attain at a dentist&#8217;s office are very happy with results.  Recall that trial offer companies want you to that you will buy their product and they won&#8217;t mail you a product that does not work.  Hundreds of consumers with yellow teeth have gotten great results by obtaining free sample kits already while only spending pennies.</p>
<p>Your smile may have became unsightly due to numerous conditions.  Your teeth can be yellowed from drinking coffee dental care.</p>
<p>The factors for yellowing teeth are many, however, you can still brighten your teeth easily.</p>
<p>You can look your greatest at your upcoming wedding or class reunion while saving hundreds.</p>

<p>A nice smile is a great asset to have and having white teeth also does wonders for your confindence.  For these reasons, many people look for ways to whiten their teeth.  Many people first try home teeth whitening techniques such as baking soda, peroxide, and even concoctions involving strawberries.  They soon find that these methods simply do not work and are a waste of time. </p>
<p>First of all, most tooth pastes already have baking soda and peroxide included in their ingredients.  If using them was really that effective for whitening teeth, then most of us would already be walking around with white smiles.  These home remedies don&#8217;t hurt your teeth, but do very little for making them whiter. </p>
<p>After becoming frustrated with home whitening remedies, most consumers will then turn to teeth whitening products and services.  Having teeth whitening done by your dentist is an expensive proposition, and one that is not covered by dental insurance.  On the other hand, many people report success using teeth whitening kits you can buy at the store or online.  These kits are safe, effective and affordable.  For around $50, you can whiten your teeth in the comfort and privacy of your own home.  Savvy shoppers will find even cheaper ways to whiten their smile by using free teeth whitening trial offers and cancelling them before the trail ends.</p>
<p>Most dentists agree that these products are safe for your teeth but recommend no more than 2 teeth whitening applications per year.  Having a nice smile can be an important part of leading a happy and successful life, and there are ways to get that white smile there without breaking the bank.  When you are tired of home remedies that don&#8217;t work, take a look at some of the great teeth whitening and products out there.</p>

<p><span class="firstletter"><span>W</span> </span>ith the <strong>recession in full swing,</strong> many consumers are <strong>turning to the internet </strong>to take advantage of special offers allowing them to save hundreds of dollars. Stephanie, an ordinary, modest mom from<strong> Knoxville, TN </strong>is one such consumer. Stephanie recently discovered a clever way of combining two different teeth whitening offers from two different companies&#8211; <a title="Teeth Whitening Pens" href="http://dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=1" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=1&amp;referer=');">Idol White</a> and <a title="Teeth Whitening Gels" href="http://dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=2" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=2&amp;referer=');">Clean Whites </a>&#8211; to get one full &#8220;super&#8221; whitening, comparable to what you might attain at a local dentist for $400 or more, <strong>using nothing but free trial offers and paying just a few bucks to cover shipping charges.<br />
<span><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><em>Stephanie:</em> &#8220;I&#8217;m just a mom who figured out a system that works better than all the expensive whitening treatments the dentist tries to get you to pay for (you know, the expensive ones that didn&#8217;t work as well as intended&#8217;).&#8221;</p>
<p>Stephanie&#8217;s story of how she wound up with yellow teeth sounds all too familiar to some:</p>
<div>
<blockquote><p>Well, honestly, I did quite a few things that probably contributed to my yellow teeth. I love a glass of red wine, I’m an avid coffee drinker, and, most regrettably, I started smoking way back in college when I was about 21 years old. I smoked for just over 10 years before finally quitting, and although I’m very happy I did quit, I was disappointed that my teeth really didn’t really recover. Finally, I was self employed for many years and had little or no dental coverage. I can’t claim to have brushed twice a day every single day, but I honestly think I was usually pretty good about it… and I didn’t see any improvement, no matter how many &#8220;whitening toothpastes&#8221; I tried. Anyway, long story short, the coffee (couple cups a day), red wine here and there, and about ten years of smoking made my teeth something I was ashamed of.</p>
<p>I’m not a rich woman and didn’t think I could afford it. But after looking around online, I was able to find a few special offers (and coupon codes) where you could try the product by only paying a few dollars for shipping. That allowed me to get two different products–completely free*! <img src='http://www.dentalcarejournal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . My idea was that I’d just use one first and once I ran out I’d switch to the other, and that’s exactly what I did. The results were good with the first product alone, but what I hadn’t expected was that when I followed it with the second, I noticed improvements in parts of my teeth that the other product hadn’t affected, or had only slightly improved. Like I said, I’m no doctor or medical expert, but it appears that each of the separate products focus on DIFFERENT parts of the problem, or that the second one just gave the whitening enough of a &#8220;boost&#8221; that it finished the job! By using them both I was able to get even better results, and because they both had these crazy special offers, AND I found coupon codes for them, I was able to do the whole thing by just paying a few dollars in shipping charges from the USA &#8211; the shipping was $0.99 on Smile Brite and $2.50 on the other.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>Stephanie: &#8220;I not only found products that gave me results better than I would have expected from my dentist, but after researching online I discovered that <strong>these online teeth whitening companies are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">desperate</span> for new customers in this recession </strong>and are currently handing out these samples of their products.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Stephanie didn’t stop there—after finding the two products, Stephanie made use of the kind of ingenuity many consumers have turned to during this recession, and selected not one but two teeth whitening products, which dramatically increased her results and received both tooth whitening products for just $3.49 total.  She used a special coupon code to reduce the standard $3.77 shipping cost to only $0.99 on one product.  Stephanie saved a lot of money compared to the services offered at a dental office.</p>
<p>Most clever, perhaps, is the fact that combining two different products, and using them one after another, allowed Stephanie to get what could effectively be described as a &#8220;super whitening&#8221; without breaking the bank.  Stephanie obtained free trials of both teeth whitening strips and pens.</p>
<p>When we asked Stephanie more about her discovery, she explained:</p>
<div>
<blockquote><p>I was surprised by the results after the first 3 days – but once I saw my teeth after a week, I was totally blown away… I knew I was onto something.</p>
<p>The trick is to use <strong>TWO trial products</strong> that complement each other <strong>TOGETHER</strong> to give yourself a whitening that&#8217;s better than you ever could have expected.  By using both whitening strips <strong>AND</strong> pens, you can optimize your results.</p></blockquote>
</div>

<p><span class="firstletter"><span>T</span> </span>he <strong>recession knows no demographic boundaries.</strong> Mark, an unemployed software engineer &#8211; turned entrepreneur recently became one of the uninsured.  Mark knew that he had to seek out medical and <strong>dental insurance</strong>, but did not have thousands or even hundred of dollars to spend on traditional plans.  He has no known health problems, and is a bachelor, so he feels that he can put off full blown medical insurance for a year or two. At 25, Mark&#8217;s main concern was his dental insurance.  His new business venture made his appearance even more important than ever, and he wanted to keep up on his oral hygiene and dental visits.  So, using his entrepreneurial spirit and a few clicks, he found what at first appeared to good to be true &#8211; <strong>dental plans</strong> for less than $20 per month.  When Mark saw that these plans waived all preexisting conditions, he had to investigate further.</p>
<p>Mark signed up for a plan from <a title="Individual Dental Plans" href="http://dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=3" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=3&amp;referer=');">DentalPlans.com</a>.  He purchased an entire year of dental coverage for about $120.</p>
<p align="left"><span> </span><em>Mark:</em> &#8220;I&#8217;m just a guy out there trying to get by and save money like everyone else.  I couldn&#8217;t afford full blown dental insurance, and then I found these dental plans that have just as much coverage as the major carriers &#8211; but for a fraction of the cost.  I thought it was too good to be true.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mark&#8217;s story of how he found himself without dental coverage is familiar to many:</p>
<div>
<blockquote><p>You know, my dad always said to work hard and to play hard.  I have worked hard since I graduated from college but I still found myself unemployed and uninsured.  I am only 25, and I knew that my teeth had to last me a long time.  I didn&#8217;t want to waste the benefits of all of my previous trips to the dentist by not continuing a dental care regimen.  When I launched my own business, I became even more concerned about the well being of my teeth.</p>
<p>Another thing I considered was the preexisting conditions clauses.  There simply are none with these dental savings plans.  I had a cracked tooth from an old sports injury and even if I would have found a new 9 to 5 job, their insurance would not have covered the tooth repair because it occurred before my coverage started.</p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>Mark: &#8220;I needed a crown and a cleaning.  My dentist charges $850 for a crown and $120 for a cleaning.  For an investment of $120, I was able to immediately save 50%, which comes out to about $435.  I would recommend a dental savings plan to anyone in a similar situation as mine.  I might even keep this plan if I do get traditional coverage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mark plans on keeping his dental savings plan.  With a little research, he was able to immediately save hundreds of dollars.</p>
<p>We asked Mark more about his results:</p>
<div>
<blockquote><p>I wasn&#8217;t expecting to find such an affordable plan with good dental coverage.  A huge selling point for me was that I was able to immediately save money on my crown and afford to have it done.  The dentist I found through their network was very prompt, professional and honest.  When I called to set up the appointment, I told them which dental plan I had and that I had purchased it at <a href="http://www.dentalcarejournal.com/redirect.php?product=3">DentalPlans.com</a>.  They immediately recognized the name of my plan and confirmed a 50% savings on all procedures.</p></blockquote>
</div>
