Out of the Ordinary, Not Out of the Way

Although we travel a lot with the blog, sometimes it’s nice to just hop in the car and take an old fashioned road trip every now and then. With lots of great options around the Toronto area, we decided that we’d visit the diverse and developing area of Kitchener-Waterloo, known as part of Canada’s “technology triangle”. Daniel and I packed up some of our family – his husband and my mother, and headed on our way out of town for a weekend of fun.

When I was a little girl, I was very ill and as a result, I had to take a lot of antibiotics. When my adult teeth grew in, they were stained from the effects of this. Very few people would believe that as a child I was teased for having what looked like cornflakes stuck on my teeth – because my teeth these days are very white and well looked after. Getting the smile you are finally happy with all comes down to visiting a Dentist in Chattanooga (or your local dental clinic) and staying on top of your oral hygiene when you’re at home. As a teenager, in the days before Google (yes there were days before Google), I remember researching how to make my teeth whiter and healthy. I wasn’t able to go to the Dentist Turlock as much as I would like, so I had to find other ways of getting the whitest teeth possible. I used to dip my toothbrush in baking soda before adding toothpaste, watching as over time my teeth slowly became whiter.
