Today, I tried whitening my teeth with an off-brand product. It didn't whiten my teeth, but it did burn parts of my gums off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to finally bleach my teeth. After 45 minutes of stinging pain, my teeth are still yellow as ever. My gums, on the other hand, are opaque white. FML
Today, I started the bleaching treatments that my dentist recommended. Now, my two front teeth have ultra white spots, the rest of my teeth are still yellow and the roof of my mouth is burned. FML
Today, I decided to try whitening my teeth for the first time. I applied the strips to my teeth and decided to lay down and wait for the thirty required minutes to pass. I accidentally fell asleep and woke up three hours later. My teeth are still in excruciating pain and are covered in white streaks. FML
Today, I have a cold. Trying to clear out my stuffy nose, I tried putting mouthwash in my nose. Thinking it was an awesome idea, I put some more in. I then starting screaming in pain due to the extreme burning in my nostrils. FML
Today, I noticed a strange mark on the inside of my mouthwash bottle. As I was bending down to investigate, my hands tightened around the bottle and mouthwash squirted in my eye. It still burns. FML
Today, I popped something straight out of the oven into my mouth. It burned my tongue instantly, but instead of spitting it out, I swallowed. I felt it burning all the way down. Now I can’t eat solid food or drink hot drinks. FML
Today, I accidentally took my mouthwash like a shot. I don't know what burned more, when it went down or when it came back up. FML
Today, I woke up to find that not only did the toothpaste I put on my pimple make it more noticable, but it made it worse. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth, I applied the toothpaste to my toothbrush when a few bristles got caught on the lip of the tube and flung a glob of toothpaste into my eye. My eye is now bloodshot, but at least it's minty fresh. FML
Today, I was able to get dental care for the first time in 4 years. I had been going through all the hygiene motions, but without professional input all that time, no one was there to warn me about the sour candies I had been eating, and how they ruined your teeth anyway. My teeth are well beyond salvageable now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it dissolves your gums just think of what it might be doing to those teeth of yours...

That's what you get for trying to use a cheap brand

Beauty comes at the price of pain, you know. So suck it up (or brush it on) and keep at it!

Okay, I could understand if you meant she should persue other options if she still wants her teeth whitened, but if you meant to continue using the product she is currently using, you're an idiot.

From the few comments I've seen on here posted by her, it seems she has no idea what she is talking about.

Actually the whitening Solution SHOULDN'T burn your gums off. When we would whiten patients teeth we'd ask them if the solution is burning at all. If it is burning it needs to rinsed off immediately to prevent this very thing. Three years of working at a dentist office you've seen everything.

The box saying "Crist Whotestrips" didn't tip you off that MAYBE you should fork over an extra $2 for the real thing?

Or at least visit her friendly neighborhood dentist for it to be done properly by a professional :D

So now not only do you have yellow teeth, you now also look like you have gingivitis. Nice. No more DIY projects for you, OP.
