Teeth whitening

That seems a lot for you to essentially do it yourself, DH bought a kit with the tray , but had to put Vaseline on his gums to prevent burning and he couldn’t keep it in for more than a few minutes as it made him gag, so he went to a ‘Salon ‘ that offered teeth whitening and was very pleased with the results, not too white, but better than before.

PS , they are a lot better regulated now,DH had it done about 10 years ago, so find someone who is qualified.

nuttynana the advantage of home whitening over having it done in the practice is that you keep the trays(which are like mouth guards) and then you can use them again, if you want to do any top-up whitening, as your teeth will probably become less white after a while.
Ask your dentist about this - how much further supplies of whitening gel would cost.
If your teeth get sensitive there is some gel you can use in the trays instead of the whitening gel for a few days. Ask your dentist about this too.
Don’t go to a beauty salon. Beauty therapists aren’t qualified to do dentistry and some of them use substances which can be very harmful to your teeth and gums.
I hope that helps.

Thank you. I would only use a dentist I trust but yes , it does seem a lot for a "do it yourself " although I understand that it is a stronger solution than you can buy over the counter .
