All about Teeth/tooth whitening in the UK

i want to have whiter teeth but cant afford to get it done professionally at the dentist can you recommend any good products or tips for whiter teeth? I already use sensodyne gentle whitening toothpaste but it doesn't do anything for me! it sounds silly but my teeth look sooo disgustingly yellow compared with the whites of my eyes and when i wear certain lipsticks they look even worse :/ thank you everyone xxx products must be available in the UK preferably boots thanks again xx how long till you see results with baking soda? is it instantly different or does it take a long time? xx

Has anyone tried these and do they work. Thanks

What is the best teeth whitening product you can buy on the high street or in supermarkets? Or would you advise me to get it done at a dentist? Because I've just had my brace off and they've stained quite a bit. Thanks.

when you go to the dentist and you ask them to whiten your yellow teeth, how long do the teeth stay white, is there a guarantee that they can turn your really yellow teeth white and is there a permanent method to whitening the teeth so you don't have to keep coming back. Is it true your teeth become sensitive and start to break up and get brittle after bleaching?

i really want to get my teeth whitened professionally but i have some acid erosion on my front teeth (the tips of my teeth are transparent) and i'm wondering if they would be strong enough to tolerate whitening. obviously i will ask my dentist but has anyone here with the same problem had their teeth whitened? if so what how did it turn out for you?

my confidence has went down considerably in the last couple of years due to having acne, and i have been on roaccutane for roughly 6-7 months. It has got better but i stil get a good few spots , i have been left with not pick scars but more like red marks i have been trying my hardest to fade them by using bio oil once a day for about 3 months and cocoa butter 2-3 times a day for roughly 6 months but not a great improvement as what i was expecting for the time period. So i was wondering if teeth whitening would help my appearance and make my scars less noticeable. reply asap help appreciated.

I've been given Polanight 16% by my dentist who told me to use it overnight for 14 days. I have used it 6 times now and my teeth are now so sensitive I'm not sure whether to keep doing it. Also, only the bottom half of my teeth have changed colour, is this normal, will the whole of the tooth gradually change? Not sure if I'm using too much or too little gel, dentist was a bit vague! Any help or advice would be appreciated....

I have tried whitening products in the past and they didn't work at all, total waste of money. I also read online that sometimes when you spent like...$500 on laser whitening, it only lasts a couple of years even if you don't drink wine, coffee, tea...etc before your teeth start to stain again. I was wondering if you know of any products/treatments that I can get which will actually whiten my teeth and make it last, I don't want to have to constantly use these products to ensure my teeth are white and obviously I can't make my teeth white any other way.

I bought the 16% gel (10 syringes) of the pola night teeth whitening gel from e-bay, they have arrived with no instructions. I used the gel before a few years ago via my dentist so i have the correct trays and everything but i can't remember how many nights i used it for.

Having purchased tooth whitening from my dentist for £250 I was given plastic trays to wear over night. These look like mouth guards. I was instructed to put a small blob of whitening gel from a syringe into the front of each tooth groove in the guard and then to leave them in over night. I've followed the instructions, however wearing the trays causes my mouth to fill with saliva and I'm worried that this is probably getting into the trays. Is this a normal problem? Will it effect the tooth whitening process? Can I swallow the saliva that builds up in my mouth whilst wearing the trays (I'm sure that I probably do automatically in my sleep!) The tooth whitening gel I was given is called "dental white beauty" and is 16% strength but the box was given to me by the dentist without any instructions in. Please help!
