The paint on whitening is rubbish! Whitening toothpastes only remove stains, they will not be effective against the yellowing of the teeth- for that you need proper bleaching.
If you really want DIY bleaching then there is one product you could use that everyone owns- URINE!- bon appetite.:money: Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to everyone who has helped.0 -

You're taking the pi$$??
NEVER overestimate the sense of the general public T.N.D.
Out there there WILL be someone stupid enough to read that and try it.
Now with their own, fresh stuff, they may well be harmed less than a beauty salon whitening - but if someone gives it a go with 3 day old dog pee.....:eek: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 -
I have been using pearl drops smokers toothpaste for a while and I didnt think it was working. Now the results are starting to show.
Very impressed and only £1 from ASDA. I brush once a day with the smoker toothpaste and twice with normal toothpaste.0 -

My dentist told me to get some gel to rub on my gums as I'm a smoker (smack hand), but cant remember what it was called ?
Any ideas ? I'm assuming by your hadle your a dentist.0 -
I must recommend Creest whitestrips. They are only available in the US but many sites will sell them to the uk. They are proper hydrogen peroxide belach strips that you place on your teeth. Completely safe and exactly the same as what many UK dentists use. I am so impressed with them. You use them for 10 days and the results are absolutley brilliant
I purchased mine on ebay... i think they were about £20 for the 10 day course. Just beware of those sold in Hong Kong as they can be fake. Make sure they are sealed and genuine Crest productsGetting Married Sat Aug 22nd 2009...... so excited!!
