Did you get done for import tax??

Hi Lady_K

No, you don't have to sign for the delivery. Not sure if it comes from the postman. Know that's a kind of dumb answer:p , but I always have it delivered to work, and we get loads of parcels from different carriers. The package is about the size of a toddlers shoe box, so it certainly won't fit through the letterbox.

The gel stays in the tray for the bottom teeth even when you turn it upside down. You only put a small dot in each tooth indentation, and it's thick enough to stay there until you squidge it down over your teeth.

You only need to whiten the teeth that show when you smile. That's the front 8 for most people, but as I've got a very wide smile (commonly known as a big gob:rotfl: ) I whiten the 1st premolars as well.

No. They state on the custom declaration form 'dental sample', and that seems to do the trick!:rotfl:

one of my tooth is a veneer, would it be safe to use a whitening product on that?

Hi. For those who want to whiten your teeth for free in just 3 days there is a new product on the market. They are offering their new 3 day whitening kit for free until the end of the month. You just have to pay the S&H. Still cheap in my opinion. This site sells the same kits on e-bay for $70. They also have over 1000+ feedbacks. This is a very trusted website.
I tried the product and it worked! It took me 5 days to get the results I wanted. I have badly discolored teeth so it took longer than the 3 days. They also have some sort of contest and if they use your before and after shots on there website they will pay you $100 for the rights.
I give it 2 thumbs up. This was the best freebie I ever had!
Its https://www.freewhiteningkits.com
:money:

Has anybody used this? 40% !!

It wouldn't damage it, but neither would it alter it's colour.

So you may well find it wouldn't match after the treatment.

The same is true of white fillings.

This is another reason why it's vital to get the advice of your dentist first.

Hi,

Have you tried Bicarbonate of Soda as a very cheap first try at whitening your teeth? All you do is wet your toothbrush and then dip in the BoS and clean as normal.

Might be worth doing before purchasing expensive kits

The only advice I can give is 'speak to your dentist about it'.

Without seeing your teeth, I have no idea what may work or may not.

What works for one person may damage your teeth.

A good toothbrush is always a worthwhile investment, whether it get's them whiter or not.

Whitening toothpastes can remove some staining pretty well, and don't do any harm. They can't change the colour of a tooth though.

Stuff off the internet, and stuff like whitestrips which aren't licensed in this country are entirely at your own risk.

If you DO use something just off your own back, and it goes wrong, the price to fix it will be way more than getting it done professionally, by a dentist, in the first place.
