Teeth whitening kits

Can anyone recommend a good one of these that I can get in boots or similar? I know the crest USA ones get rave reviews but I've left it too late to get them.

I've never really rated the whitening toothpaste but surely some of the strips/ powder kits work?

SIL said Blanx aren't good, so unless anyone thinks differently I'd like a different recommendation please.

I'm guessing none of them work with the lack of response, back to the drawing board I think.

I see you have no response so I can give you my input, although it's bit really what you asked ..
I had Enlighten done at the dentist.

They make trays for your teeth, you use a gel at hime for 2 weeks (hurts like hell) and then you go into the dentist and have a super strength gel for about 30 minutes.

Results are amazing. Very painful and left me very sensitive, also cost £500.

Thank you, I did wonder if it's something that you can only have done professionally.Not liking the sound of the pain though.

I’m just doing boutique through dentist - they make trays then you use them overnight. No issues with 10% carbamide peroxide gel, one uncomfortable night when starting 16% then fine. Anything over 16 isn’t legal here (dentist said it’s because that can cause permanent sensitivity)... I’m very happy with it!

The only one that works is Phillips Zoom that I purchase on Amazon.com (the American version). I buy home mouldable trays. Work out about £30 instead of £350 at the dentist! It’s the same stuff. I use sensodyne in the trays for an hour before and after the treatment and never had sensitivity issues or pain.

Nothing in the UK over the counter works because there is a limit to how much bleach can be used at home.

Your best bet is to find a private dentist that offers it and pay for it unfortunately.
