[haroldc]

Does anyone have experience using a kit to whiten your teeth at home? Do they work? Where to buy in Bangkok? Price?

All information greatly appreciated.

a few home remedies I have collected that really work:

INGREDIENTS: water, baking soda and strawberry's

INSTRUCTIONS: First you take 4 strawberry's and cut of the stem then you take 1/4 a cup of water and 1/2 a cup of baking soda, then you throw it all in a blender and blend on low until it becomes slightly pastie, then brush your teeth with it and re brush with your regular toothpaste. !!!!WARNING!!!!! it taste horrible but works.

INGREDIENTS: Water, Toothpaste and Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). 33% or 35%

INSTRUCTIONS: Add 5 drops of (H2O2) to 500 mil of water. Brush your teeth normally with a toothpaste and then swish your mouth with the (H2O2) and rebrush just using the (H2O2) / water solution. 2 weeks and you will see a major difference.

If in Bangkok you can purchase (H2O2) from Vidhyasom Co. Ltd in PraKanong..

Let us know how it works for you.

Good Luck.

You could just buy a prepared kit from Boots but it won't work.

What you need to do is go to the dentist and have the teeth 'gumshield' made based on your teeth. The gumshield can then be filled with the bleach by you at home. And it will work since it is not really that different from doing it at the dentist.

Not that I have done it. You can get your teeth bleached for around 6,000 baht at the dentists so I don't see much point in DIY. Also, for around 9,000 baht you can get your teeth scaled before bleaching. It makes sense to do this.

Okay, I have no training in the dental field, and no experience in bleaching, but:

For real? Strawberries are great for staining AND removing stains?

What is "scaling" your teeth?

I think "scaling" is cleaning - removing all the placque.

My experience:

Laser whitening - Bad points: expensive , uncomfortable, doesn't last long.

Good points: fast, works well.

Home kit

Good points

Cheap, not painful.

Bad points

Slow to give its non-existant results.

Thanks.

yes, they are close to BTS.. if you get off the train at Prakanong and then walk towards On Nut way.. you turn left about 3 streets up.. its a fair way down though.. a motorbike taxi would be a better option.. It is a very big place, you cannot miss it.

they have lots of other stuff also..

I got my tooth whitening trays and gel from the dentist and the results are great. Whats even better is that if you keep the trays you can go buy the gel from the dentist anytime you want.
