I have always wanted pearly white teeth. Maybe my obsession with having white teeth came from watching too much trashy reality tv. The cast always have very white teeth on those programs. That could be why I am always in the pursuit of extra white teeth.
I know most of these celebs go for teeth whitening with Invisalign. I read that somewhere anyway. However, the treatment option has never been offered to me, and if it is offered, I know I will be turning down. I hear it is a lot of money to get them done and to be honest, I don’t think I need that much work done. Great dental clinics like this Whitby dentist, do offer affordable payment plans for those who need it. So if you are interested in having your teeth whitened, don’t let the price tag scare you. Do your research and find out the best payment plan for your budget.
My Teeth Whitening Experience
I have had my teeth whitened twice now. The first time was in 2012. I had it done at a very posh private clinic and I was very happy with the results. I was given home kits to take away with to use for about 2 weeks. My teeth went many shades whiter! I was so impressed! For £200, it was money well spent in my eyes! I didn’t have to deal with teeth sensitivity at all, which was great too.
As the years have gone by, with all the eating and drinking. I needed to have a top up session done. So I booked a teeth whitening session with our dentist some months ago. I paid a bit more than £200 this time. I had a teeth whitening session for 1 hour at the clinic, and I was given a teeth whitening kit to use for 3 days at home. However, this experience was so different from my first. I felt the 1 hour teeth whitening session at the dentist was not as effective. There was little or no difference. I didn’t notice any difference but the dentist did.
The home kit given to me was also very difficult to use. It made my teeth so sensitive, I had to stop using it. I didn’t have this issue the first time I had my teeth whitened, so I found this new experience very confusing. It is frustrating that the money spent looks wasted.
I will probably look at having my teeth whitened again in future but I need to be able to see a clear difference.
Have you ever had your teeth whitened before? Were you happy with the results?

Sorry to hear that you are not happy with your recent whitening treatment. Were you shown a pre and post treatment photo? You could try airflow next time if you haven’t tried it yet. It is cheap, and also removes stains as well. From experience (carrying out the procedure), the particular whitening you had recently does work if carried out properly.
I had a look in the mirror before and after the treatment. The dentist noted the shades and claims there is a difference but I really couldn’t see any.
I actually have been using a home whitening kit and for the first time it was one that has worked for me that didn’t hurt my teeth and actually gave me good results.
Oh good Talya.
I’ve always wanted my teeth to be whiter too. I’ve tried different toothpastes and whitening strips but haven’t seen a notable difference. Maybe it’s time to have it done professionally.
Yea you could try getting it done professionally
It’s never even occurred to me to try to whiten my teeth. I might go and have a look in the mirror now. You’re right that they do discolour with time. I should pay more attention!
Ah yes they do.
I’ve never had my teeth whitened professionally but I have used the Crest Whitening strips and loved them! I saw such a difference and everyone used to comment on how white my teeth were – so cheap as well!
Oh nice Kirsty.
Sorry you weren’t happy with the results. I’ve never tried whitening myself.
Thanks. I will be trying other options.
Haven’t done it professionally but I try the baking soda approach at home
Sorry about the one you tried not effective
Cheers
I am trying the baking soda method now and loving it.
This is something I probably wouldn’t try. I would be worried about it being safe
Yea I know many people do worry about it being safe. I believe it is.
I used to be a dental nurse and the effects of whitening were amazing. But I have a fear of dentists so won’t be trying it myself!
Ah ok.
Teeth whitening always reminds me of that episode with Ross from Friends, lol. I used some whitening toothpaste once, and it made my teeth really sensitive too so I stopped.
Lol 😂 I remember that episode.
I love to have white teeth. Ive tried loads of different toothpastes and gels, and the only thing I have found to have worked is Crest Whitening Strips which I have to order online. The results are amazing and the treatments are so easy too!
Yes I agree. The strips are usually very good but the results don’t last too long.
