home tooth whitening

[answerbanker]

Has anyone tried this - with success ??
Can you recommend any thing ?

My teeth are not badly stained but would benefit from being a bit whiter.

thanks

TBH Very little retail products will do much .. They're all hype.

Pearl Drops Tooth Whitening gel is ok .. I like it. But it doesn't whiten a lot.

Cosmetic Dentistry is probably your best bet. You 'might get a small result with that whitening chemical/peroxide you do yourself.

be careful with anything not done by a qualified dentist, as the chemicals can leave your tooth enamel porous.

Crest Whitestrips every time. I get them on ebay and they last forever. You don't need to use all the strips, you get quite a lot in a box. Might feel funny the first time you use them. You will notice a difference almost straight away and then you can store the rest until you need them. I've had a box now for almost a year and have used about half. they don't seem to harm the teeth but they make your fingers sting when you pick them off the backing strip !

Not sure what to advise here, but I do like your username. I would never have thought of that one.

Which? has recently reported on home tooth-whitening and strongly advises against it. To be effective the hydrogen peroxide concentration has to be very high and this can severely burn tissue inside the mouth.
Having it done professionally is completely different- and rather pricey!
