WE’VE ALL HAD THAT MOMENT WHEN OUR CLOSET IS FULL BUT WE CAN’T FIND A SINGLE THING TO WEAR. Whether it’s too big, too small, or just plain last season, the perfect outfit can be difficult to find.

It’s no wonder, too. Our style is the first thing the rest of the world sees, and whether or not we want to admit it, deep down we all care a little about how the world perceives us. With style being all around us in the form of clothing, hair, accessories, home decor or even food, we bring you our September issue—have you guessed it yet? The style issue!

Whether you’re interested in a complete fall wardrobe refresh or are just looking for a few style pointers, we’re excited to share with you the stylings of Tulsa. We’re not just into clothes and accessories, though. From local designers and local boutiques to style for your home, your hair and even your meals, Tulsa has so much to offer we

WHY AT-HOME TEETH WHITENING

DOESN’T SPARKLE! ARTICLE DR. MARK DAVIS

AS FASHION TRENDS COME AND GO, A GREAT SMILE NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE. Nobody wants dingy, stained, or yellow teeth, but we are seeing more people coming into our office disappointed with the results of at-home whitening products.

This lack of results can happen for a variety of reasons, a primary one being that the whitening agent you’re using at home just isn’t strong enough. Professional whitening treatments that are done at your dentist’s office can use much stronger solutions since they occur under trained supervision.

Dr. Peggy Merrill

The whitening process is a fairly simple one, where a bleaching agent, usually carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, is applied to teeth for a set period of time to reach a desired shade. Over-the-counter whitening strips and whitening toothpaste don’t have high enough concentrations of the “bleach” to penetrate into the deep enamel and result in a significant difference, especially if your teeth are naturally less lustrous to begin with.

Another issue that arises is the amount of time the bleaching agent is in contact with your teeth. Many times in order for the at-home kits to work, they must be left on for long periods of time, which can result in painful sensitivity or as we call them “zingers.” OUCH! But dentists who do a lot of cosmetic procedures use a de-sensitizing gel, physical protections for tender gum tissue, custom-made trays to decrease unnecessary contact points, and special curing lights that speed up the process. All of these minimize the chance for zingers while allowing the more powerful bleaching agents to get deep down and do their magic!

Dr. Mark Davis.

GETTING YOUR PEARLY-WHITE SMILE ALSO DEPENDS ON FACTORS LIKE:

PERFECT SMILE

918.863.2474

+ Where the stains are located on your teeth

PerfectSmileTulsa.com

+ How fresh the whitening agent is + Your age, (older teeth are more difficult to whiten) + If you have naturally yellow teeth + Teeth sensitivity before whitening Due to the wide array of factors, it doesn’t make sense that a one-size-fits-all approach would work best for most people. That’s why, at Perfect Smile Tulsa, we offer a variety of teeth whitening treatments for all price ranges and sensitivities, so that each individual can find their perfect smile.

about your daily life or share things you do. But, people saw an opportunity to communicate any information in a new way. So began the beautiful world of blogging,” according to FirstSiteGuide.com.

Instagram is a free photo and video sharing app available on smartphones.

Combine the two and you have a social media platform that could reach thousands of people on a daily basis and that is what Amy Ann Arnold, Samantha Ruble and Thuy Bui, three local entrepreneurs, are doing with fashion and style. Together, they have more than 70,000 ‘followers’ on Instagram and the numbers grow daily. Their posts are fun, inspirational, educational and creative. Explore their websites or follow them on Instagram. It's exciting to see so many people around the world enjoying their post's and blogs!

We asked each of them about a fashion trend we could watch for in the upcoming months.

THUY BUI “A GOOD CAMEL CARDIGAN IS A MUST HAVE STAPLE FOR FALL. IT’S A GREAT PIECE THAT WILL GO WITH SO MANY THINGS.” Instagram: @heythuydotcom Website: HeyThuy.com

AMY ANN ARNOLD "TWO BIG TRENDS I AM SEEING THIS FALL ARE PRINTS (THINK ANIMAL PRINTS, PLAID, AND FALL FLORALS) AND THE RETURN OF RUCHING. DONE RIGHT, RUCHING CAN BE VERY FLATTERING AND PRINTS ARE SO FUN TO MIX AND MATCH. I LOOK FORWARD TO A FUN SEASON AHEAD!"

Amy Ann Arnold

SAMANTHA RUBLE “FOR FALL I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE SEEING A LOT OF PASTELS BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AS WELL AS CLASSIC SAVILLE ROW FABRICS LIKE HERRINGBONE, GLEN PLAID, AND HOUNDSTOOTH AND BOLD DYNAMIC BUSY FLORALS !!!!!!!!!
