762979 2009-04-07 08:49:00 I wouldn't pay $98 for those strips. wmoore (6009)
762980 2009-04-07 08:51:00 hard to say either way.....

They also make claims such as "Premium has been clincally proven to remove up to 14 years of stain build up in just 7 days. Try for yourself today!" with no evidence to trials or other scientific reports to back up these claims.

762984 2009-04-07 09:29:00 Theyre an american brand i think they are only imported by businesses.

I found this site perfumestore.co.nz do you think its legit? Apparently they were formed in 2007 with largest inventory of genuine, brand name fragrances, skincare, health and beauty products in NZ

Are you sure giving these sort of things to kids is a good idea? These "teeth whitening" systems often contain chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, or some variant of bleach, which can damage the enamel protecting teeth from decay. You really should talk to a dentist before trying any of these products, particularly since there are plenty floating around on the internet (and on those 'as seen on tv' infomercials) which either don't work, or are dangerous to use.

Yes my girl is 16 years old, she is aware of the side effects and still want to use them. Her teeth are pretty stained after she had her braces removed. I'm just trying to be a good parent by buying it for her, shes been dying to get them for the last 2 weeks now and its bugging me.

762987 2009-04-07 10:05:00 I'm with those who suggest talking to your dentist . Or, at least, speak with a pharmacist .

I'm all for white teeth, but not those that have been bleached to the extent that they look unnatural .

As Jen has stated, give a wide berth to those who don't give any other means of making contact .
