em ... i was only at my new Dentist last Tues asking about teeth whitening (though she didn't think i needed it but i can't help myself i'm a teeth fanatic, LOL) ... and she said the guards that they need to have make from a mould cost the most about $650 and the tubes of whitener about $40. The guard you wear each night filled with whitening gel for about 7 nights. She mentioned if the whitener doesn't whiten my teeth brighter as it is possible (but rare) she said the next tube of whitener they can especially order in a stronger one She said the whitening can last between 1 to 2 years (depending on if you drink coffee, smoke, etc ...)
Told her i can't afford$$$ it now ... and she said she doesn't know of any chemist one's she can recommend but having said that she did add that a friend of hers (i'm hoping they are a Dentist??) recommended the COLGATE teeth whitener that looks like a nailpolish bottle as she described and you paint it on (keeping in mind she herself doesn't know of it's success BUT that her friend said it worked)
I saw a teeth whitening booth at a shopping centre last week. From memory it was around $75 and they did it on the spot. I have no other info on it though, I didn't have time to stop there.
likes smiles said around the $600 mark, the over the counter ones arnt worth it, they contain such a small amount of the necessary ingrediant otherwise is wouldnt be safe
Careful, there was an article in the paper recently about the dangers of these places springing up everywhere in the effort to make a quick buck. I think I'd rather have a qualified dentist do it, than some 12 year old with a bottle of bleach attacking my chompers...
I forgot to mention i tried the * Pearl * brand years ago yep didn't do a thing.
Like Lulu said i too would much prefer to have done at the Dentist (but can't afford any time soon) !!
I did have a go at whitening my teeth at my Dentist in Melb about 15 years ago when the guard cost me about $350 then & interesting enough the tube of whitener was dearer at $50. I wore it for 7 days & found my teeth were incredibly sensitive when drinking or eating. And cause it didn't make a difference the Dentist said some people's teeth don't take to it so therefore don't whiten anymore ... so i must have thrown the guard out ages ago as i can't find it (must have since it didn't work for me). Now my new Dentist said what a shame i don't still have it as they are so costly now. She just mentioned that to me about half a dozen times and i just wanted to cry, ahhhhh
I might give the Colgate one she mentioned a go but she warned me it's not always as successful and doesn't last as long
Thankks guys i dont think i can afford 600 either might try the colgate one my teeth rnt that bad but i just would like to give it a go see if it makes much of a difference i havent tried bicarb either might try thanks again sorry 4 the short reply have a sick baby atm
