Not actually gone through my dentist! I know I will probably be shouted at for that!
I wasnt really expecting to see results so early, I just wondered what people thought of the results.
Are you pleased with your course Silvercar?
xx
Really pleased. I wasn't aiming for day glo white but to bring my teeth back to a more natural whitish colour. It worked and I'm pleased with the result. I don't know if I would have done it alone without the support of my dentist. I would also have been worried about buying fake gel.
How did you know which strength to use and for how long? How did you get the shields made up without a dentist?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Hi everyone,
I have just recently had a lot of dental work done, I am ashamed to say that I hadn't been to the dentist in five years and needed 7 fillings and two teeth out! Now that this has been done I am getting cosmetic work done too, I have paid £500 for enlighten whitening and have had my initial appointment. My teeth are very yellow naturally but my concern is that my two front teeth at the top have very noticeable bright white patches on them, my dentist told me that this is called mottling. Will these patches go even whiter and still look very different to the rest of my teeth after the whitening? I am getting a brace after the whitening but my dentist has said that I will probably still need veneers on my front two teeth because of the mottling. Would be grateful for any insights!Paying off my partners debts:

It's hard to say without seeing it, but if your dentist is happy to proceed then I would guess it will be OK.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
hi i have asked this before, i am using teeth whitening trays at 22%, i still dont see a differnce, can someone please advise on stronger strengths0
-
As before, you need to go and discuss this with your dentist. I really wouldnt advise anything stronger but you shouldnt take advice from strangers on an internet forum regarding this anyway.0

unfortunately i always feel rushed wth my dentist.Some of the people posting in here have actually offered very good advice0
-
Thats as may be but you are paying your dentist for this service and they are obliged to give follow up care so make an appointment, go and see him/her and tell them your concerns about the bleaching. If you always feel rushed then you really should consider changing dentists to one you feel more comfortable with.0

Apart from the professional advice, you will be able to see where your tooth colour(s) fit in a scale of shades. Dulux brilliant white is not for everyone (or should that be anyone?!).Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
