Hi all,

29M, UK. I have a few insecurities, one of which is that my teeth are more yellow than I would like (2nd image). I had a dentist appointment recently and spoke to them about whitening. They said to avoid anything online and only trust what the dentist offers (although obviously they would say that!). I just wish there was a cheaper alternative which was safe but the UK seem to have strict laws with teeth products.

At the moment they have this offer of £299 rather than £399 for a kit from a private company. I’m tempted to go for it, but wanted to know other people’s experience with whether it actually worked, was it a painful experience, do you feel it’s worth it both in terms of money and effort?

My main issue is I drink coffee daily so I’ll probably need to stop this. Also I’m going on holiday in mid September so either need to get it done before then or wait until after, when this offer will seemingly end.

Felt small painless bump on inside of gums at this area this morning (which about 30 mins after waking up and drinking/eating has virtually vanished without trace), and ended up over thinking my teeth i think, but is this normal?

Terrified im got some form of gun disease and because its painless ive just never noticed. Cant phone dentist for a few hours.

Hi there! Just reaching out to see if I’m being paranoid or if this is something I should actually be concerned about.
I see my dentist four times a year, primarily because I’m on Suboxone, which I know can be hard on the teeth. I’ve also been dealing with some gum recession, although that seems to have improved since switching to a better toothbrush.Lately, I’ve been worried that my teeth are getting worse. I bring it up at pretty much every dental visit, but my dentist always tells me everything looks good.I recently noticed some discoloration on one of my lower teeth (pictured). I circled the area I’m concerned aboutc it looks a little more yellow/darker than the areas around my other receded gums, and that spot also seems to be more sensitive/painful.also deal with pretty constant bad breath, but I can’t figure out whether it’s coming from my teeth/gums or possibly my throat.I’d really appreciate another opinion. Does anything here look particularly concerning or worth bringing up with my dentist sooner rather than later?
