    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...

    Tried bi carb?

    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

    Em ... let us know if you find the Colgate whitening kit as i went hunting today and couldn't find it I tried a couple of big name chemist shops here and a Priceline but nothing not even an unavailable tag on shelf (might ask the shop assistant next time) !! Might Google and see if can buy online somewhere

    I currently have the mouthguard one with the gel from my dentist it was $450 for 3 tubes full that u put a tiny bit on the guard then sleep with it on it works really really well! Though only downfull my teeth were a lil sensitive after so use sensodyne before you start it

    Question

    Miss K ... did you have to have a mould done of your teeth so they could make the teeth guard that you put the whitening gel in ?? ... Was curious if yours was a different technique ... Thanks
