Where can I get free teeth whitening to help me with job interviews?

My teeth are horrible and I think they have prevented me from getting successful job interviews. I’m looking for free teeth whitening. I live in a shelter for homeless families because my husband is emotionally and physically abusive and didn’t take care of us financially either. We have moved 11 times in the past 3 years and are unable to get an apartment due to bad credit and a bad payment history. I’m not sure where my husband is but the kids and I are safe. I have minimal dental insurance that we’ve managed to hold onto but it doesn’t pay to get my teeth whitened. I’m looking for deep discounted or preferably free teeth whitening. Where can I find dentists who will do free teeth whitening? There are a few other women in the shelter who might be interested in it too. Thanks. Cindy

Cindy,

We commend you for your determination to take care of your family. Your smile can make a huge first impression on interviewers, especially if your job will involve interacting with the public.

Before You Receive Free Teeth Whitening

Care must be taken before your teeth are whitened.

  • Before you receive teeth whitening, a recent dental cleaning is needed so the whitening will be effective.
  • Bleaching isn’t for everyone. A dentist will need to examine your teeth and the stains in them to determine if bleaching them is the right treatment to make them whiter.
  • If there is a buildup of plaque on your teeth, it will interfere with the effectiveness of the bleaching gel.
  • Bleaching isn’t done right away after your teeth are cleaned, because your teeth will still be sensitive from your dental hygiene appointment.

We suggest that you find a few dentists who offer free teeth whitening after a dental exam and cleaning. This offer is usually extended to new dental patients.

You already have dental insurance, so the cost of a routine exam and cleaning should be covered. You might have to call a few dental offices or search online for a few who extend the offer. Their websites often have a tab for new patients or patient specials. If you can provide proof of your residence at the shelter and explain your situation, you might be able to find a dentist to provide you with free teeth whitening, even if he or she normally doesn’t provide it.

Best wishes for your job interviews and your family.
