John S. asked:
The options for teeth whitening are many. I’ve tried several with only limited results. I’m looking to hear from someone who has either found a really effective teeth whitening system they applied at home, or went to a dentist and had another procedure that hopefully was not too expensive.
I’m looking to hear from people with experience in this area. Thank you!

hey John S!!
I recently got my teeth whitened from an NHS dentist and it cost me £199. I dont think it was too expensive considering my FAB results! xx
I got my teeth whitened a while ago in the dentists. they cover your teeth with a whitening gel, its got peroxide in it and then shine a strong light on them. It works but its quite expensive, cost me about £500, also, I found it quite painful, it gave me feelings like the ones you get when you eat something cold and then take a drink of something hot or vice versa, apparently thats quite unusual though! Good luck!
Whiteners that contain peroxide typically come in gel form and are placed in a mouthguard. Some products are used twice a day for 2 weeks while others are intended for overnight use for a 1 to 2 weeks period. If you can obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist, he will be able to construct a custom mouth guard to fit your teeth precisely. Currently, the American Dental Association endorses only dentist-dispensed home-use percent carbamide peroxide tray-applied gels.
In addition to bleaching solution, whitening strips are increasingly being used as a preferred tooth whitening product. For instance, you are now able to get your hands on a set of Crest Whitestrips Supreme from any convenience store. The flexible, invisible strips are coated with an enamel-safe tooth bleaching gel. To whiten your teeth, you simply place the strips on your teeth and wear them for about 15 to 30 minutes each day. After a period of about 21 days, you should be able to see a significant difference on the brightness of your teeth.
