Teeth whitening

[thegoodnameshadgone]

Can anyone recommend so,etching you can buy online that's safe and not too expensive please?

Crest Whitening Strips - the professional effects ones. They're excellent. Try and get 10 pouches (20 strips) so you've got a good 10 days worth.

I paid to have mine done professionally after I'd finished my orthodontic treatment. I was slightly pissed if to find that I could have bought the kit online at half the price! It's called polanight. Great results from it and no sensitivity.

You can't buy anything that works over the counter in the UK, because stuff that works can damage teeth. That's why only dentists do teeth whitening here.

You can buy the unregulated American stuff online, for that horse with a piano in its mouth look so favoured by Hollywood. At your risk of wrecked teeth and gums, and you won't grow more.

Thank you for your replies

Those boots ones will do nothing if sold legally in the UK. Note the asterisks and 'up to' in the description. It is like the before and after photos for wrinkle creams - without Photoshop there is no difference !

Are crest strips safe? I've got some my friend bought me. I wanted to use them before my wedding.

Just to say it's illegal for anyone (beauticians hairdressers etc) to do whitening in the U.K.
Please see a qualified dentist for this

I really want to try the crest strips but can't find them online.

All the 'over the counter' ones do is dry your teeth out so they look whiter. They return to their normal shades after a few days (sooner, depending on your enamel).

The only way to get a real change is via the dentist.

Ah, so that's how the claims work. Clever, eh?

I had zoom done at my dentist. Full check up and hygienist appointment before, then had the in chair whitening followed by at home trays. If you wanted it cheaper you could just do the trays
He explained to me that v v white teeth in the media are generally veneers
I'm so pleased with the results he got for me and I've had no side effects

I'm scared of eBay in case they're fake!
