DrDent Professional Teeth Whitening Strips are peroxide-free and recommended by dentists
With our social media feeds awash with dazzling smiles, it's no surprise that many Brits are seeking ways to enhance their pearly whites to achieve a celebrity-like gleam - particularly with summer on the horizon.
Google Trends data reveals that searches for teeth whitening tend to spike as the weather begins to improve. However, professional treatments can be costly, and some home remedies may result in uncomfortable sensitivity.
Dubbed a 'game changer' by users, DrDent Professional Teeth Whitening Strips offer consumers an ideal solution. These dentist-approved strips provide a peroxide-free formula that is safe, convenient, and affordable, costing just 90p per treatment due to their current spring sale.
Typically priced at £25.99 for 42 strips - sufficient for 21 treatments - a pack of DrDent's Teeth Whitening Strips is currently discounted by 23% on Amazon, bringing the price down to £19.95. Additionally, customers can avail of an extra 5% discount using an Amazon voucher displayed below the price.
Simply tick the box before adding them to your basket, and they'll cost £18.95 at checkout. This makes them more affordable than MySweetSmile, whose strips are currently reduced from £24.99 to £19.99, reports the Manchester Evening News.
DrDent's peroxide-free whitening strips, crafted with natural and ethically sourced ingredients, are designed to combat stains whilst being gentle on tooth enamel, ideal for those with sensitive teeth. For individuals experiencing discolouration from coffee, wine, soft drinks, certain foods, or smoking, DrDent promises to lighten teeth up to eight shades, aiming to banish 'even the most stubborn stains'.
If you're gearing up for summer festivities and weddings, or aiming for a dazzling smile before jetting off on holiday, the quick 30-60 minute treatments seamlessly integrate into your daily routine without the hassle of cumbersome trays or complex procedures. Additionally, the included shade guide helps you monitor your whitening journey, ensuring you can witness gradual improvements ready for snapping sunny memories.
Scores of customers who've faced sensitivity with other whitening products have commended the comfort DrDent provides. With an impressive 4.2-star rating on Amazon across over 3,000 reviews, a satisfied buyer remarked: "I have been a returning customer to dr dent for a few years now. Safe to say I'm never looking back! these whitening strips really are the best of the best. I've tried many different whitening products but nothing comes close to these! They're so convenient as you can barely tell you're wearing them and unlike other whitening products there is no unpleasant taste. If you're looking for a whitening product that actually works and doesn't break the bank then these are what you need!!!"
Another satisfied customer shared: "I bought the teeth whitening strips and I've been absolutely loving them! I've noticed such a difference in my teeth and it's gave me much more confidence. I've tried numerous teeth whitening products in the past which all resulted in my teeth becoming sensitive meaning I had to stop using them. I then thought I would have to put up with my teeth being sensitive if I wanted them to look good. However the strips are the first whitening product I've ever used where I've not had this problem. I will definitely be repurchasing them once I run out, I can't explain how much I love them and have recommended them to family and friends."
While the feedback has been largely positive, some users did express a desire for the strips to be longer or better shaped for easier application on back teeth, especially when compared to other brands like HiSmile. One user remarked: "Seems to whiten as well as other brands but don't fit as well to teeth as either HiSmile of Tesco versions I've used. Both upper and lower strips are the same whereas other brands have, easier to use, shaped strips."
A fourth reviewer expressed their personal experience: "I've always been a bit self-conscious about my smile. Years of coffee and tea had left my teeth looking a little dull, and I was starting to feel like I needed a boost. I tried a few different whitening toothpastes, whitening pens etc but nothing really seemed to make a difference (other than an airflow clean at my dentist).
"These strips are a game-changer! They're super easy to use - you just stick them on your teeth for the recommended time, and that's it. No messy trays or gels to deal with. And the results are amazing! After just a few uses, I noticed a significant difference in the whiteness of my teeth. They're now several shades lighter, and I feel so much more confident when I smile."
Moreover, DrDent provides a stellar 100% satisfaction guarantee; if you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, they promise you'll 'receive a full refund immediately'.

Unusual smell that could mean you have bed bugs and how to banish them

Searches for 'bed bugs' have risen by 838% in the UK. According to experts households should be cleaning their mattresses every six months to help prevent a build-up of bacteria, germs and, the words nobody wants to hear, bed bugs. In the last seven days, online searches for 'bed bugs' have risen by 838% in the UK. So, with Brits scrambling to spot and prevent infestations, bedroom furnishings experts are warning homeowners to watch for an unusual almond-like smell which could be a telltale sign of a significant bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that feed on human blood and are typically found around beds to stay close to their food source. ‌ Norman Smith, Director and owner of Invicta Environmental, a pest control company said this distinctive odour is often missed by people looking for more obvious signs like bites or spotting the insects themselves. ‌ He said: "When bed bugs have established themselves in large numbers, they release pheromones that create a musty, sweet almond smell. Many people don't connect this smell with bedbugs and might search for other causes like damp." Bed bugs are believed to be masters of hiding and can be very difficult to spot. Norman added: "Most people think they'll easily see bed bugs crawling around, but they're incredibly sneaky insects. Their flat bodies allow them to hide in the tiniest cracks and seams of mattresses, bed frames, and furniture." The small insects have evolved to be particularly evasive, only emerging to feed when humans are deeply asleep and less likely to disturb them. ‌ Norman said: "Bed bugs typically feed for two to five minutes before retreating back to their hiding places. This usually happens between 2am and 5am when people are in their deepest sleep stage." The bedroom expert also highlighted another unusual sign - rust-colored stains on sheets and mattresses which aren't always connected to bed bugs. According to Norman, people often mistake these small brownish stains for dirt or other marks, but they're actually bed bug droppings. ‌ The dark brown or rust-colored spots can stain bed linen and mattresses, and are a major red flag that bed bugs have moved in.

He added that finding blood spots on sheets is another significant indicator. ‌ Saying: "After feeding, bedbugs can leave small blood spots behind. These aren't usually from the bite itself, but from the bedbug being squashed if you roll over in your sleep." Unusual bite patterns can also help identify a bed bug problem. Norman said: "If you notice bites in a straight line or clustered in a small area, this could be bed bugs. It's sometimes called the 'breakfast, lunch, and dinner' pattern because if a bed bug gets disturbed while feeding, it will move a short distance and try again." The bedroom furnishings specialist stressed that prompt action is critical for tackling bed bug problems as bed bugs reproduce extremely rapidly - a female can lay approximately 200 eggs in just five days. This means a small problem can quickly become a major infestation if not addressed immediately. For those concerned about a possible infestation, Norman advised: "Strip the bed completely and check all seams and piping of the mattress. Don't forget to inspect the bed frame, particularly in corners and joints. Bed bugs can hide in the smallest cracks - as thin as a credit card."

I'm an ex-flight attendant — there's unexpected protocol for medical emergencies

At 30,000 feet in the air, you really don't want to experience any kind of emergency, but these situations are usually outside our control, as Stephen Graham's story proves. The 51-year-old Adolescence star recently shared the 'scary' moment he had to have an emergency operation on a plane after urinating blood. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Stephen explained that he had a blood clot lodged behind his urethra and a surgeon had to perform a catheter procedure right there and then on the flight, which took place in a makeshift operating area between the economy and first class cabins. According to Del Wilden, an ex-flight attendant who worked with British Airways for 26 years, major medical emergencies like this do occur on flights but are relatively rare – he only experienced two in his entire time as cabin crew. In the event that this happens, there are some little-known protocols staff have to follow and Del, a former purser (Senior Cabin Crew Manager), has revealed them to Metro, as well as the one thing most Brits don't realise about cabin crew training. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. In the event of a medical emergency, Del says cabin crew would always start by asking passengers if there was a medical professional on board, and while they were ideally seeking a doctor, nurse or paramedic, there was one other profession help could be accepted from, and it might surprise you. 'We were always told that if a medical professional didn't come forward, but a vet came forward and was prepared to help, we were allowed to accept that, he says. 'We had to get them to sign a form of indemnity before they started to help and it would usually only be if a situation was so serious it warranted help urgently.' Until someone came forward, cabin crew would provide as much first aid assistance as they could and Del claims they have much more rigorous training in this area than most Brits realise. 'Until a professional came forward, we would act accordingly. So if it was a heart attack, we'd commence CPR immediately, while another crew member would gather equipment, like a defibrillator and oxygen, and someone else would keep the captain informed of the situation.' As well as being trained in CPR, Del says he was also taught to deliver a baby, in case someone ever went into labour during a flight. If there were no experts on the flight to help, cabin crew would be able to call a company called MedLink for advice in the event of an on board medical emergency. Each plane also had its own special medical kit on board known as an M5. According to Del, half of the kit was for crew to use, while the other half was intended for professional medical use, and this is where the catheter for Stephen Graham's operation would have been found. As well as medical emergencies, Del says there are two other types of emergencies flight attendants may have to deal with – pre-planned and catastrophic. A pre-planned emergency is a situation that develops during a flight and is something that cabin crew have been prepared to respond to. They'll have protocols in place for dealing with the issue and there's usually a bit more time to handle it. An example of a pre-planned emergency might be that the plane has lost its hydraulics for landing. In a situation like this, Del said there would be an 'alert call' over the PA system from the captain, who would ask the senior cabin crew to report to the flight deck immediately. 'As crew, if you hear that during the service you would put your trolley away and go to your station (door) and await a call from the senior crew member,' he says. When the senior team member returned they would then give their crew what's called a 'NITS' breakdown for the emergency, which stands for nature, intention, time and special instructions. For the hydraulics example, the nature of the emergency would be that the plane has lost the hydraulics, the intention might be to dump some fuel and for time, the pilot might have said they have about 45 minutes until they need to land. In this situation, Del says the special instructions could be not to evacuate the plane immediately once they've landed. Following this, the next step would be for the crew to brief passengers on the situation. 'We would go out into the cabin and we'd all have various positions. The captain would do a PA announcement and tell them that there's a situation and what's happening and then they would play a pre-recorded announcement,' Del explains. More Trending 'This always starts with 'Attention, attention, this is an emergency announcement' and then it would tell passengers to follow the crew's instructions.' He adds: 'We would always go through the announcements twice, because we were taught that passengers won't really take much in the first time as they'll be a bit shell shocked, but once you play it a second time, it starts to sink in.' For a catastrophic emergency, such as a plane crash, there isn't the same amount of time to prepare, so Del says staff who are able to do so would have to act instinctively on whatever the situation is. 'If you survive whatever is happening, there's no time involved to make a plan, you basically based on your training would have to use your instincts and find a way to get passengers out of the plane. But before you open any doors, the most crucial step would be to look for fire or any other kind of danger.' Do you have a story to share?

Popular kitchen gadget sold on Amazon is urgently recalled over ‘serious risk of fire & EXPLODING'

A KITCHEN gadget from Amazon has been recalled over a "serious" risk of exploding. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has now banned all imports of the Moongiantgo Food Dehydrator. 2 The entire product appeared to be riddled with issues, including faults with its fuse. On the OPSS website, it states: "The product is a serious risk of fire as the fuse has insufficient granular filler to ensure safe operation under fault conditions. "If the product experiences an electrical fault whilst in use, it may catch fire or explode." According to the body, it does not meet the requirements of Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets Safety Regulations 1994. The product was used to dehydrate various food items such as fruits, herbs, vegetables and meats. A similar item listed on Amazon, which meets the regulation standards, says it is fitted with a high-powered rear fan which delivers "consistent airflow throughout". The description reads: "A sleek digital control panel gives you full command of the dehydration process. "Set the temperature anywhere between 30°C and 90°C, and use the programmable timer for up to 24 hours of continuous drying." Another Amazon product was recalled over serious risk of injuries. The Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons have been removed from the online marketplace following the safety concern. Amazon's Affordable Foldable Tiny Home: Space-Saving Design and Features Revealed The toy was available in a pack of six on Amazon for £18. "The product presents a serious risk of injuries because it contains accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index that exceeds the acceptable level," the product's risk description reads. "Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. "The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation." Another children's toy was removed from the website over fears it could cause serious injury. The swimming float was also urgently recalled over fears it could cause serious injury or even drowning. The Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk. Authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger. The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report. If the float becomes airborne, a child could be thrown out and suffer an impact injury or drown. 2
