Would you talk to me about teeth whitening?

A few years back I did this, using specially moulded mouth trays and gel. I need to do it again now, but the gel has escalated in price, plus chances are I would need another mouth tray made, because teeth do move slightly, and that's the most expensive part.

I always thought shop bought tooth whitening kits were rubbish- I remember DD messing about with one and not seeing any results - and also I've been scared off laser whitening.

However, am I right in saying that the over the counter kits are now much better quality? And that laser whitening (although probably expensive like mouth trays) is also much better/safer these days?

Would be great to hear anyone's thoughts!

Shout out for Crest white strips👌

You should only buy 6% hydrogen peroxide or 16% carbamide peroxide from your dentist.
These are the strongest gels.
Anything else online will not be licensed.
Strips,toothpaste etc will not be long lasting.
I have sold these products for 25 years.
I recommend Pola,Boutique or Perfect bleach having used these myself.

My dentist says to always go to the hygienist before dentist or home whitening as it won't work on any calcium deposits or some natural staining. You'll get a better and much more even result that say.

@Rebelmcstreettuff I've just looked up Pola and it looks as though it's 22% - or have I got that wrong ?
