It’s a sad fact of life that beyond the first bloom of youth, tooth colour gradually begins to yellow. If you’ve got to the point where you’re trying not to smile in case someone spots your decidedly non-Hollywood ivories, you might want to consider teeth whitening as a solution to your dental woes.

For those who wince at the prospect of stinging dental fees (still the safest method, however), a more economical approach is to select a really good ‘over-the counter’ treatment and give it a go. The Dentech 35% Home Laser Teeth Whitening Kit was developed by a California dental lab and, as its name suggests, uses a 35% solution of the whitening agent carbamide peroxide.

The rapid lightening is achieved buy the use of laser light technology and you can stop when you’ve reached the shade your happy with. Used daily over two weeks, this product does seem to produce good result.

The most responsible advice to anyone considering teeth whitening is to consult a dental surgeon. It isn’t available for free, though, so teeth-whitening can rack up some considerable expenses.

If you want to give DIY methods a chance, you might do well to try America’s premier teeth whitening kit, “Dr George’s Dental White.” It comes with detailed instructions, 120 ml of the teeth-whitening agent, carbamide peroxide gel (enough for 200 applications), an application syringe and two dental trays which you can fashion to fit your teeth precisely. Retailing in the UK at around £22.75, it’ll save you hundreds compared to dental treatment.

And if you want to speed the process up, you can also get a special laser whitening kit for only £7.99. You can get up to 11 shades lighter in a fortnight. But read the instructions carefully – dentures and crowns won’t lighten, so don’t risk ending up with gaudily multi-coloured gnashers instead of the even dazzle you’re seeking.
