How good are over the counter whitening treatments in comparison to whitening from a dentist?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
Q.

Hi Rob,
I would like just a little advice on the best route for 2 issues. I drink quite a lot of coffee and my teeth are an ’0ff-white- colour. I would really like a gleaming white smile now and wondered what the best way would be to achieve it? About a year or so ago I purchased Dr George’s Dental White, but have only used on a few occasions as im very sceptical of any damage? Is this a good product? I have also just recently purchased the Transformulas professional whitening kit, and after a few appliances it does ‘appear’ to have made a difference. Is professional surgery really the only way to achieve my goal, or are these products worthwhile?
I also have a very slight gap between my top front two teeth and would like this closed, any advice also would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time

My daughter is getting bullied about her yellow teeth, what should we do?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Solanki

My daughter is 14 and her teeth are yellow. She has not needed a brace has always been meticulous when cleaning her teeth. She is not aware of herself as some 14 year olds are and I have noticed a significant change over the last few years. Tonight’, finally she broke down in tears and says that her teeth are awful.
Despite reassurance she tells me several children have made nasty comments at school. Where do i start? Your support would be hugely appreciated

I was told that I should’ve been given more whitener to use at home, what should I do?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

I had made teeth whitened at the dentist using the Zoom 2 technique in Dec 2010, I was very pleased with the results since they went 7 shades lighter, and they werent that bad in the 1st place. I was given one application of de-sentising solution and one application of whitener to use 48hrs later. Two months later my teeth are the same colour as before, I dont drink red wine, tea, coffee or smoke and was wondering if this was normal. I look after my teeth and rang the dental surgery this morning who said I should have had more whitener to use at home, could I have your advice please

A.

Do home dental whitening kits that are not peroxide based have effective results?

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Q.

I have recently paid my dentist for at home dental whitening. He has given me Vitent Safe & white gel, rather than traditional peroxide based. I am a little dissapointed as this is an OTC product.
Do you rate this as a good product, will I get as good results?

A.
I don’t know it I’m afraid

Would laser whitening treatment on my sensitive teeth help to make them whiter?

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi – I completed a 2 week professional home whitening kit approx 4 years ago (provided by my dentist) since then I have had a few “overnight” top up treatments. I am finding that my teeth appear to be no longer as white as before. However, the last time I used the home gel (10%) I experinced a lot of sensitivity afterwards. Might an instant laser whitening treatment at the dentist be a better option perhaps> Many thanks. ,
