    Hmmm - Out of your 10 posts, 3 of them have been about this bunch of beauty-whiteners!

    Anyone else smell canned meat?
    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.

    I read that Crest Professional Effect is banned in the UK. I can see that the Amazon.com only ship to USA.

    What damage does tooth whitening do to your teeth. Would switching to Sensodine enamel protect help?

    What does doing it with a dentist offer. What should I look for when doing it myself?

    Yep, and I already described my own past experience(s) with this lot earlier in this thread. I wouldn't recommend anyone but a dentist of tooth whitening and I certainly don't recommend this company. You only get one set of teeth and it's just not worth it. The strongest strength stuff they use is so caustic if it gets anywhere except on the teeth its damn scary, instantly causing white, painful blisters on gums, lips...where it touches etc. Save up and go to a dentist and live with it until you can is my advice.
  • not sure if cheap is the way to go if you want your teeth whitening, I would recommend using the services of a reputable dentist or cosmetic dentist specialist.

    In the long run you will be far happier with the results. If you are in Surrey or London I would recomend a dental practice called simply teeth.

    I have used crest whitestrips and they are very good, i bought mine from ebay, there are plenty of reputable sellers on there.
    I would say not to waste your money on the normal whitestrips but to get the supreme ones. They are only available from dentists in the US and they are the strongest, especially good if you smoke or drink lots of coffee or tea. I have used the normal and the supreme and the supreme are far better.
  • Hi,


    I am very satisfied about my white teeth. I have tried whitening products and it's very efficient. Maybe I can advice you that, it's the cheapest website I found : whiteway whitening website. You can find all the information there.
