My dentist gave me hydrogen peroxide to use with these special teeth impressions made from my teeth. He said it will work but I used it a bit erratically so not sure. i am going back and gonna use it properly.
However my friend also gave me some 10% carbamide peroxide that you sleep overnight with. Will they work do you think? It's PolaNight.
Also what foods should I avoid.. other than red wine and stuff that i dont drink. do i have to avoid everything with colour?
In office whiting products work better than store brands because of the percentage of hydrogen peroxide is higher its a better product.
Crest white strips do work well over a longer period of time.
You should avoid all staining products while bleaching like spaghetti sauces and staining juices ,tea,sodas, coffee.( a good trick with the coffee is use a straw)
I would use what your dentist recommended because if it does not work they can give you a new product in exchange that might work better. If your whiting is not working always tell your dentist your not happy with the results so they can rectify the problem for you.
Hope this helped.

Yes it does work… and well. My girlfriend uses this and her teeth always come out pearly white.
As for what your friend gave you.. .don't use it. It may contradict with what the dentist had given.
As for foods, coffee is bad and so is soda. Also, don't smoke.

I have used Crest white strips and those work well, plus they are gentle on your teeth. Be careful using something incorrectly, you dont want to damage the enamel on your teeth.

Use what your dentist gave you, it will work. Things like coffee, tea, and nicotine stain teeth.
