    Does anybody know generally how much it would be for me to get my teeth cleaned up and whitened.

    What ever you do, go to a dentist for it.

    A lot of beauty salons do this treatment now. A friend thought she'd save a few quid going down this route, but ended up in agony for weeks because they spilt some of the bleach solution on her gums during the treatment.

    Buy a pack of Crest Whitestrips (around $20), do the two week programme and you'll have super-white teeth for approximately 12 months.

    I did it, my friends did it, family also and it worked for everyone.

    You have to order them from the states, I think the site is www.otc.ie

    i used them a couple of years ago, but I was still smoking quite heavily at the time.. so I'd smoke before, during and after I took them out..

    I even missed quite a few days, probably stretched the two week package into 3-4 weeks. But at the end, I wouldn't say my teeth were bright white... but they were definitely several shades better than they were before.

    does your PRSI cover any part of the teeth whitening or does it come under cosmetic?

    if u have enough PRSI contributions paid go to ur dentist and get ur teeth scraped and polished its free twice a year and then buy the crest whitestrips.thats what i did and it made a huge difference.
    edit:if u ring ur dentist give them ur pps no. and they will find out have you got enough contributions paid.here is a break down of what you need

    They just cover your front, visable teeth.

    Does the crest white strips work if one has fillings in their front teeth?

    I wouldn't imagine they'd work on any man made material tbh, they'd just whiten the area around the filling.. I could be wrong though..

    No they won't work on crowns or anything like that. I get mine from the states, i think someone mentioned the website before www.otc.com, costs me about €50 for 2 boxes and you pay using google checkout and deleviery is quick!

    Has anyone that had braces tried these? I would really love whiter teeth but I'm afraid to try it incase it goes horribly wrong. I am also a student and can't really afford anything too expensive. Also I heard that your teeth have to be totally straight or else the whitening wont turn out perfect!

    I got it done in SMILES in Dublin I wouldnt recommend it.
    Veneers are the thing to save for.
    Or else get them done in another country....much cheaper.
