I've had my teeth whitened before but don't feel like it ever lasts. Has anyone use any home stuff which has actully worked?

Get the trays made at your dentist. it’s a few hundred quid but then it’s done and you can then purchase the syringes from your dentist. I use 6% hydrogen peroxide once a week for 3 hours and the 10% carbamide peroxide once a fortnight over night.

No toothpaste or whitening strip compares.

I have trays from my dentist and the same % of gel but they don't allow the use you're doing.

They will only sell the gel once every 2 years (so you use it for a few weeks each time.)

They say using it more than that damages the teeth.

The problem is if you buy them in the UK or EU the suppliers have no.legitimate way of obtaining the genuine strips . So you are buying from people knowingly breaking the law who cannot supply from a legitimate source. You have no guarantee they are safe , genuine , not counterfeit etc.
These suppliers also supply strips in strengths it is not even legal for a dentist to use. These laws were brought in because of the health hazards eg oral cancer , gum and tooth damage that high concentrations of whitening gels can bring.

Yes, fair enough. He stocks up on them when in the US.
