Teeth Whitening in Atlanta

Lately I've developed a practice of purchasing any toiletries I may need (other than the hotel-provided ones) at my destination. That way I can avoid the hassles with going through security and making sure my little bag of stuff doesn't get lost (as happened in London one time), bottles don't leak, etc. Well, I am now at the ASA annual meeting in Atlanta, and needed to secure my toiletries. It turns out that I had to walk 3+ miles, roundtrip, in 94 degree heat and high humidity, uphill all the way, and in full sun, to find a drugstore! You might ask why I was so driven to find a drugstore rather than simply use the hotel-provided toiletries… besides not having my favorite Aveeno moisturizer, I just had to have teeth whitening stuff and take advantage of being away from home to set myself on a strict teeth whitening regimen! I’ve noticed that so many people have beautiful white teeth… and while I’ve never had gorgeous teeth to begin with, mine have never been movie-star-quality-sparkling white. They’ve never been so white that you could see my smile a mile away. Oh, I know that tooth color varies in shades from white to off-white, to creamy white—but with so many people whitening their teeth artificially these days, I was just driven enough to try—hard enough to warrant walking uphill 3+ miles in 94 degree heat and high humidity in… Atlanta in August! Each day I work on whitening my teeth—we’ll see how it all turns out in a day or so… in the meantime, I find myself in obsessive-compulsive mode--frantically rushing back to the hotel room to brush my teeth after I’ve had a cup of coffee…
