Teeth whitening

Can anyone recommend a good teeth whitening product? I tried whitening strips from Boots but they weren't any good. I'm not a smoker but maybe a smokers toothpaste would be good? Maybe not though, could be too strong? As you can see I've no idea, so if anyone has had success with something could you share your secret please? 😁

Another affiliate

Crest strips if you’re going to the US, or can get someone to buy for you.

Or Enlighten at the dentist. About £600, but fantastic results.

what's an affiliate link?

what's an affiliate link?

When someone open the link you put here and make a purchase you have few % of amount she paid

They don't have web shop?

Marking spot!

I don't know if it's an affiliate link, if it is it's someone else's! I just used Google and this is the website that comes up and it's the one I used.

Cleopatras stuff didn’t work for me.
But Pearl drops strong was recommended on a good housekeeping review and I’ve only used it for a few days but my teeth feel very clean There is a scale of tooth colour on the side of the box and it claims to make them 4 shades lighter.
Cheap enough to give a try

It worked for me and my sis. How long have you been using it?

This thing.... Saw it on mumsnet few months ago and got addicted to it :) Joke, but it does really help on removing surface stains, especially if you smoke or drink too much coffee or tea ...second pic is a little bit brighter but difference is obvious, its about after 2 weeks of using...I would recommend this or strips. Strips are good too

Amazing results btw

I’ve only used it for about 5 days but then took a flight and wasn’t sure if the tube was ok to get through customs - will start using it again when I get home.

CovertImage · 10/03/2023 13:55

You can buy all of the crest strips - and lots of other stuff - at www.ukteethwhitening.com. It was good service too if I recall

Ttwinkletoes · 10/03/2023 14:14

I was talking about pearl drops not cleopatras stuff which didn’t work for me.

RampantIvy · 10/03/2023 14:18

I asked my dentist last week, and he said that anything you can buy OTC is a waste of money. He doesn't offer tooth whitening so he has no skin in the game.

It seems they all have different opinions about teeth whitening...

Yep

I got trays made by my dentist & use polanight. Amazing results, I saw an improvement after a week. Teeth slightly sensitive when using it but nothing major. After you get desired results you only really need to do a top up once a month. Worth every penny imo
