Morning All,

I must be getting old and obviously drinkinh too much coffee !

I want to remove some of the tiny stains that I'm sure are attributed to my coffee habbit.

So what are my options:

1. Ask the Hampster
2. Teeth whitening toothpaste
3. Visit the dentist

To be honest I would prefer option 2.....but do these toothpastes really work ?

Which ones do work ?

Thanks in advance
IceBoy

I use this one Sensodyne Pronamel very good to get rid of acid on the teeth

I use the proenamel toothpaste as well.....the thing is...

Is is worth spending £100 on a home tooth whitening system or visit the dentist to do it for you ? (I'm guess the dentist route would be more expensive...I'm guessing £180-250 ????)

My ex used the whiter than white website and the kit was very good. The company supply dentists with the kits as well so it does the job. They send you a kit to take an imprint of your teeth, you send it back and they make you a fitted guard to put the gel in. If it doesn't fit right you can send it back. The service was good and it's a big saving on the dentist.

There has been many a test on whitening toothpastes, and not one has been found to work.

At all.

Its a placebo effect.

When i was in wilko's looking for toothpaste (must be coming up to a year ago now..) an old lady (bless her cotton socks) told me her story about how her family have always just used soap to brush their teeth..

She must of been 70 odd IIRC, and she assured me that the teeth i could see were her own, and they didn't look in bad nick..

It got me thinking, and i picked the toothpaste with the blue line down the middle!
