German dentists give teeth whitener '5-star seal of approval'
UK-based brand MySweetSmile have been scientifically tested by Dermatest - and they have a sale on their teeth whitening powder, strips and more
With sun-soaked holidays, garden gatherings and grand celebrations on the cards this summer, it's the perfect time to think about teeth whitening. But knowing what brand to turn to can be difficult, especially with so much on offer.
However, Dermatest - a German collection of dermatologists and dentists that work with organisations like the Fraunhofer Society - has given MySweetSmile their 5-star Seal of Approval. This means it's been rigorously tested by their researchers to guarantee safety during application.
For the brand, this means their products were tested to be safe for the enamel, boast sensitivity-free protection and also are effective at what they do. MySweetSmile is the UK's top peroxide-free teeth whitening brand, including the Teeth Whitening Powder and Teeth Whitening Strips.
MySweetSmile's formulas are devoid of peroxide, which they claim aids in whitening teeth without causing sensitivity, enamel harm, or irritation.
New for June, customers can get 20% off all individual items and 30% off bundles. Furthermore, MySweetSmile is prolonging its Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer across all individual products. This deal lets customers mix and match the powder, strips, pen and serum and receive the least costly item for free.
To capitalise on this offer, simply add three products to your basket and the discount will be automatically applied. Customers who spend £40 or more will also be eligible for free, next-day delivery, reports the Manchester Evening News.
For those on the lookout for alternatives, Dr Dent is a brand worth considering with its range of teeth whitening solutions, such as the DrDent's Teeth Whitening Strips - which also has the backing of UK dentists. On Amazon, a set of 42 strips is currently tagged at £19.95, but there's an opportunity to cut costs further by snagging an extra 5% off, making it a more wallet-friendly choice.
Meanwhile, Superdrug is dishing out discounts of up to 33% on HiSmile dental care items, including the PAP+ Teeth Whitening Strips now down from £29 to an attractive £19.
Meanwhile, MySweetSmile's most popular product is their Teeth Whitening Powder, boasting Pentasodium Triphosphate for safe, enamel-friendly cleaning – ideal even for sensitive teeth.
They are currently offering a 20% markdown on their Teeth Whitening Powder, dropping from £29.99 to £23.99. The product has amassed a fan base of over 250,000 users and proudly sits with a stellar review score of 4.7 out of 5.
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising it as the best they've used. A particularly pleased 77 year old customer revealed: "I am 77 years old and I bought this thinking it's going to be like everything you see advertised, but to my surprise, it's made my old teeth look amazing. I shall be ordering again."
Another satisfied user commented: "A really great product, not only does it remove stains it makes your teeth much whiter and brighter, it seems to be the only product I've found that actually leaves your teeth feeling clean and fresh. This was my 2nd order. With super speedy delivery as well."
However, not all reviews were positive, with one person saying: "Cleans teeth very well but this small tub is more like a sample tub as it didn't really whiten my teeth by much. In my case I'd probably need a lot of these tubs for it to work."
Elsewhere, their PAP Teeth Whitening Strips are intended to clear out stains and discolouration in seven days. The brand says the peroxide-free composition doesn't cause irritation or sensitivity while also ensuring enamel protection during treatment.
The Teeth Whitening Strips boast a 4.6-star out of five-star rating and also comes with a 20% discount, dropping the price from £29.99 to £23.99. One pleased customer said: "I've tried a lot of whitening strips and MySweetSmile's are by far the best on the market. They stick well, don't slide around, and my teeth are noticeably whiter after just a few uses without any sensitivity when drinking cold water and tea."
Another said: "After trying MySweetSmile's whitening powder - I knew I had to try the new PAP Whitening Strips to pair with it. It's safe to say I'm nothing short of amazed. I have gotten compliments on the whiteness and cleanliness of my teeth from family and friends almost daily since the use of these strips! They pair with the powder like magic."
However, some shoppers have described the application of teeth whitening strips as quite troublesome, with one stating: "The strips were a major faff to use". To tackle this issue, MySweetSmile suggests that consumers "leave a small area overhanging to speed up the removal process, in order to assist with strip removal."

Walsall FC Foundation runs activities to help veterans
Armed forces veterans have been sharing their experiences at sports sessions set up to bring them together as well as keeping walking football slots have been set up by Walsall FC Foundation - the team's charity arm - which is also running coffee and chat sessions to support former armed services are signing up for different reasons, with one man taking part after undergoing a triple heart bypass, organiser Chris Springthorpe said."One of our younger guys that served is really interested in speaking to those that served before him," he explained. "That's really good for them to have those discussions." The initiative has been launched as part of events for Armed Forces Day, which takes place on Springthorpe said the idea came up last year, because although many ex-forces personnel take part, but the foundation didn't have any events set up with them in said walking football was chosen because it had already proved popular. 'Mental health benefits' A pilot is running for the next 16 weeks, Mr Springthorpe said, adding: "We have a lot of support for the armed forces already and we just want to build on that."According to the charity, about 2.2% of Walsall's population is a member of or veteran of the armed forces, equating to about 6,500 Springthorpe said the activities gave people something to focus on each week and a chance to meet people."Speaking to people that have been through the same as you can only benefit really, because you know they can see things from a similar situation to you. That's a really big part of it," he that to physical benefits was "brilliant", he said. "Adding on to that, the mental health benefits, the social benefits of building those connections and those new relationships, it's what we want to see."

Gym and workouts almost killed me – a hidden danger left me so close to death I said goodbye to my little girl
WHEN Linzi Todd was struck with a throbbing headache, she brushed it off and struggled through - blaming it on the fact she was simply "over-tired". The 40-year-old was oblivious that this was the first sign of a catastrophic ordeal that would leave her fighting to survive. So bleak was her prognosis that Linzi was forced to say her goodbyes to her husband and daughter. 11 11 11 What she initially assumed was just a headache was, in fact, a bleed and blood clot on her brain - which may have been caused by her years of intense exercise in the gym. The ultra-fit personal trainer, who lives in Northampton, Northamptonshire, was hosting classes at a two-day training camp earlier this year when she first noticed the headache, as well as a ringing in her ear. It was only when the pounding in her head got worse that the mum-of-one took herself to A&E. 'I was teaching outdoor bootcamp fitness classes and went to bed that evening and developed tinnitus, which I'd never had in my life,' she tells Sun Health. 'I woke up the next morning with a really banging headache. 'I popped a couple of pills, felt unwell, but cracked on. "I rang the doctors and they put it down to labyrinthitis (an inner ear infection) because I felt dizzy as well. "I just thought maybe my body was tired. I'm not the type of person that gets sick. I've always been really fit and healthy. "But the headaches persisted. I would wake up with intense throbbing in my head as soon as I got up every morning. 'It felt like the worst brain freeze ever, and only lying down and taking painkillers would give me some relief." When Linzi went to A&E in March as she grappled with worsening headaches, she was told she had "low pressure" in her head. Medics advised her to increase her caffeine and water intake and she was referred for an MRI. But shortly after having the scan in May, Linzi received an urgent call from a neurologist while at work, telling her she needed to come back to hospital immediately. The scans had uncovered the true case of her headaches - a large bleed and blood clot on her brain. Based on the size of the bleed, doctors were stunned that the mum was able to form a sentence, let alone carry on with normal life, unaware of the significant damage being done to her brain. 11 While the clot measured 17mm, the bleed covered more than half of the right side of her brain. Linzi says: 'I got a phone call while I was at work from the neurologist who said, 'Where are you right now?' and told me to get to A&E immediately, and that I had a very serious condition. "He said he could see an acute subdural haematoma on my brain, which is very serious, and a very large blood clot. "He said, 'We don't often see bleeds of this size in women of your age without any head trauma' and that it was a medical emergency. "I was Googling what this condition was and it said there was a 25 per cent survival rate. I thought, 'Am I going to die? Do I need to plan my funeral?' I had to push every single step of the way. It would've had a different ending if I hadn't pushed as much as I did with doctors. I absolutely would've died Linzi "It was so traumatic. I had to say goodbye to my husband and daughter. I didn't know if I was going to see them again or not. "Doctors were baffled by how I was presenting based on my scans and what they found. 'I was at high risk of a stroke and seizure, yet I was passing all of their cognitive and reflex tests. "It's normally found in boxers, rugby players, horse-riders - someone that has had a trauma to the head. "I was walking around with that in my brain and it could've killed me." 'Push to get seen' Linzi was later told that the bleed had been caused by a leak of her cerebrospinal fluid in her spine - a clear fluid that protects the brain and spine. She suspects the leak was caused by years of intense exercise and over-doing it at the gym. The mum, who remains in hospital weeks later, is due to have an epidural blood patch to help seal the leak and help the clot and bleed to naturally disperse. Linzi said doctors said the leak can happen to fit and active people who "overdo it" and put too much pressure on their spine, which is what they believe may have happened to her. 11 "There's no real way of knowing what exactly has caused this,' she adds. '[Doctors] believe I may have overdone it during exercise and caused a tear in my dura (the membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord). "However, I wouldn't have felt this happen and only had symptoms in my head later on. "Because I've been consistently active, it's just consistently worn down and created this leak. It's just unlucky it's happened to me. "I don't want anyone to be put off exercise because it's a very rare thing to happen but it's the only logical reasoning for why this happened. What is a subdural haematoma? A subdural haematoma is a serious condition where blood collects between the skull and the surface of the brain. It's usually caused by a head injury. Symptoms of a subdural haematoma can include: A headache that keeps getting worse Feeling and being sick Confusion Personality changes, such as being unusually aggressive or having rapid mood swings Feeling drowsy Loss of consciousness The symptoms can develop soon after a severe head injury or very occasionally a few days or weeks after a more minor head injury. You should always seek emergency medical treatment after a severe head injury. Go to your nearest A&E department or call 999. If you develop the symptoms above any time after a minor head injury, you should also go to your nearest A&E department or call 999 for an ambulance as soon as possible. Source: NHS "I never thought a bad bout of headaches would result in this and nearly three weeks in hospital. "I had to push every single step of the way. "It would've had a different ending if I hadn't pushed as much as I did with doctors. I absolutely would've died. "I just knew there was something wrong. I always tell others to listen to their own body and gut. Push to get seen and get answers. 'You'd rather get a normal result than leave it and it be too late." 11

Patient death at London hospital linked to cyber attack on NHS
The death of a patient has been linked to a cyber-attack on the NHS last year. Cyber criminals attacked two major NHS trusts causing more than 1,000 cancer treatment delays, 2,000 outpatient appointments to be cancelled and more than 1,000 operations postponed. King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said on Wednesday; a patient died during the cyber attack as a result of a long wait time for blood test results. 'One patient sadly died unexpectedly during the cyber-attack. As is standard practice when this happens, we undertook a detailed review of their care,' the trust said in a statement. 'The patient safety incident investigation identified a number of contributing factors that led to the patient's death. 'This included a long wait for a blood test result due to the cyber-attack impacting pathology services at the time. 'We have met with the patient's family, and shared the findings of the safety investigation with them.'
