Teeth whitening at the dentist

I had a dental check-up recently.  I usually go every six months, but haven't had one for 2.5 years due to covid.  No dental work is needed.

However, I would like to have my teeth whitened and there are to options:

1) Philips (£250)
2) White Beauty (£350)

I am told that White Beauty means lesser sensitivity.  I would be grateful to hear from anyone else who has had this done and which option you chose (if there are other options then also please do let me know).  Also what do you think of the price?

    In my experience, as long as you are using custom made fitted trays with an appropriate concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide gel - it doesn't matter what brand you use. The chemical is the important bit
  • It is good to opt for teeth whitening at the dentist. But if you fear the word dentist like me, i'd make you opt for dental hygiene basics for dental care.
