Can you advise me concerning teeth whitening kits that can be bought online?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Q.
Hi Mark, I have used the home whitening kits purchased from a company in China, and I have been thoroughly happy with the results. However, whenever I read up on the internet for instance on the British Health Foundation pages on the issue, it states that basically unless your dentist has advised you on the treatment you should not have it. It also states that home kits purchased from companies whom are not listed as professional are not suitable. Please advise, as there are many websites selling the kits now.,

Braces left my teeth with uneven marks. I have looked into Veneers but I have also been recommended whitening products. Any advice?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Q.
Hi Dr Kailesh After wearing braces as a teenager on top and bottom, I have been left with badly marked teeth giving them a very uneven look. There are white marks on each tooth making the rest of the tooth look discoloured. I spoke to my Dentist about options and she tried to discourage me from Veneers (I left thinking that the process was to drill the teeth down to a peg then fit over a whole crown!) She has suggested to try Whitening but am I correct in thinking that if the whole tooth is whitened then the white patches will also whiten? I am not looking for a dazzling white smile, I simply want my teeth to look even again. Please can you let me know what you would advise. I would also like to know what I should expect to pay for Veneers or if they are available on the NHS. Thanks ever so much in advance for any advice you can offer.,
