Whitening toothpaste

We only have one life so if you want to have your hair coloured Tegan go for it !

I have felt a new found freedom since I had my teeth done and it sounds as if some of you ladies above are also at that point in life.

I bought a lovely purple fur (not real) collar today in the charity shop for £3.00. I can't wait for a cold snap to wear it.

I had just one small grey streak until recently, so just used to put the odd temporary colour on occasionally. Now it is spreading along my parting. I was fine with it in the summer, but now, when I have less colour, it is really depressing me. I look dull and drained, so serious colouring is going to start soon.

Worth every penny if it makes you feel better. I'm toying with the idea of having some colour put back in my hair for the same reason; it was a post retirement money saving plan but it's making me feel a bit colourless and I've realised it's getting me down a bit. My dentist said to use smokers toothpaste every so often; I don't smoke any more but my teeth stain really badly.

I would do it too, if I smoked. I don't, so the gel pens are fine for me, and only cost a few pounds. The red wine is my problem, but the gel takes my teeth back to a nice colour. Holding my lips back while the gel dries is the hardest part. I tend to do it when I am going out somewhere nice.

Thanks everyone I expected a bit of criticism and it was nice to get the positive replies.

I wouldn't say my teeth are lovely but I am happy to see photos of myself with the family where I have normal coloured teeth not yellowing ones.

I must admit each morning after cleaning my teeth I do spend a moment admiring my gnashers

I hope you and your DH Ariadne are as pleased as I am with the results.

One small warning after about 5 days of using the mould at night my gums were a bit sore so I stopped for a couple of days and then resumed. The dentist said this was normal.

It was interesting to read this - we have both just been to the dentist and are waiting for the moulds to arrive. I am looking forward to it! I used to smoke (at least 12 years ago) am fond of coffee too, and there is a definite discolouring. So thanks, Nankate!

DH was unhappy with his teeth as they were stained by strong coffee. We bought a well known brand of toothpaste with whitening properties and the same make of mouthwash which was to be used together. The result was way better than we expected, two items together came to about £6 and last for a week or two.
I bet your teeth are lovely NanKate.

If it makes you feel good and you can afford it, go for it

Deeda The Queen Mother's teeth were famously awful long before she was old. Of course, that never stopped her from smiling.

I don't think you're mad at all. Nothing is as aging as stained yellow teeth (Queen Mother anyone?) so if you can afford it why not?

On second thoughts I think it cost £250 not £300 - sorry.
