ok i have asked about teeth whitening kits on here but someone told me..?

that they can go horribly wrong? what exactly is the 'horror' behind them when they go wrong - its put me off as i really want to try using one.

I'm a dental assistant.. and there is no real danger in using whitening strips. I have used the Aquafresh Strips and they worked great for me. Just make sure that when you use them you whipe away the excess gel from your gums because it could irritate them by making them burn. By the way.. if you really want to whiten them talk to your dentist. (S)he can make you custom bleaching trays that include floride which is really good for you teeth. They work alot better and the results last up to 4 years. It's a little pricey but well worth it... Good Luck!
