Hi, \n\nThe only way you will be able to whiten your teeth properly is to have them bleached professionally at a dentist. The stuff sold in the shops does not contain enough peroxide (the active ingredient) to remove anything but a little suface staining.You need to have at least 10% peroxide and this strength is only legally available to dentists in the UK . \n\n Bleaching, when done properly does NOT damage the enamel of the teeth, any sensitivity is usually only temporary and can usually be overcome by using a Sensitive toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash.\n\nI have had quite a few patients have it done, men and women of all ages (mostly over 40 surprisingly) and we have had some really good results.\n\nTo do home bleaching supervised by a dentist costs around £350 but gets fantastic results. You wear two bleaching trays for a couple of hours a night for approx 2 wks depending on lightening needed.\n\nYou can also have speed whitening done at the dentist in 1 hour and at around £650, but beware, if your teeth are not isolated properly this can make your teeth and gums very sensitive! better to do it gradually over a couple of weeks when you get the same results anyway. The laser light does not really do anything anyway, it just makes you think you are getting value for money !\n\nIf it is just surface staining I advise my patients to use a toothpaste containing Bicarbonate of soda and and electric toothbrush (you can get them as cheap as £12 now) this can work wonders too. Also a visit to a Dental Hygienist for a professional scale and polish can make a big difference .\n\nHope this helps

I know of none. But you could contact a dental university and see if they can help you.

Look for dental colleges in your area.  They often have students preform the same services as a dentist for little or no money.  These students have gone through years of training and are constantly supervised.\nBut, when these services are offered, they fill up fast!!  Check colleges in your area and then call to make a time.

Depends if you want to be in your local area or if you are willing to travel far distance.  I would sugest this website  http://dentalassistant.erablecie.org/ and just take it from there.

if you have a school of dentistry near your home, try going to them and see if they will allow a senior student to "practice" on you as a volunteer. That is what I do here in the US and so far I have not had much problems. they appear to know what they are doing.

the waiting list in the UK should not be 2 years unless this is the time that the dentist has rec to have a brace when he is 15 years old, if you do go privately you are looking at around £3000 at least, and remember its not just the time the brace is on ure son will need some form of retainer afterwards, so i would ask ureself is he that commmited for you to satke out such a large amount of cash ... i would personally wait til the time he can get it done for free

You have asked a serious question -  so here's a serious answer.  And I apologise for it being a bit lengthy.\n But  let's get the BO bit out of the way first;  I've never heard it said, alleged or reported by any American and if that charge was levelled against me, as an average Brit, I would be seriously very offended. [I might add that I've spent many a journey on the New York subway system where some of my travelling companions were clearly unacquainted with the excellent cleansing qualities of plain old soap!] \n\nNow about the teeth....  this story significantly starts with the outbreak of the Second World War (that's the 1939-45 conflict), when almost all British dentists were called up to serve in the British armed forces, either in their specialism, \nor to be trained as anaesthetists in surgical units.  As a consequence, the few dentists left in the UK to look after the population's teeth were either retired people brought back into practice, or those who were too old for military \nservice.  This meant that dental treatments on offer to ordinary people were restricted to emergency work, and the usual annual inspection, extractions and fillings . Dental health, especially for children, was promoted, but no cosmetic work was, or indeed could be, offered. Hence children from, say, 1939 to the late 1950s had teeth which were relatively healthy, but had never been cosmetically corrected. Thus, a generation of young people grew up with less than a perfect smile.  In their later years, some people sought appropriate treatment and ended up (rather belatedly!) with 'perfect' teeth.  But many others, for what ever reason, e.g., lack of money (don't forget that the UK was absolutely on its knees following WW2), or because they had other priorities, and therefore did not bother with vanity' dental work.\nThus the legend grew that _all_ British people had  (and still have?!) crooked teeth.  Patently not true, of course, but such stories linger on, especially amongst Americans, since it was probably returning US servicemen who started the story after encounters with the 'Got any gum chum?' little English kids!\nHowever, I can compare the teeth of the young members of the American side of my family with those of my British family members, and I can't see any difference in their teeth. However, where I  _do_ see a difference is in the unnaturally perfect front teeth of some American TV newscasters, whose \nveneered and capped teeth flash like ice caps in the Arctic sunshine every time they speak. I don't think many sane Brits would want to look like that - even if it did help to lay to rest the myth to which your question alluded! \nOnce again my apologies for the length of this Answer.

There are dental access centres in most major towns in Britain, which provide emergency dental care for people not registered with a dentist. They just charge standard NHS prices. If you go on the NHS website there's a page to locate dentists in your area - type in your postcode and it'll bring up a list, if you go through it you should be able to find a dental access centre near you. Generally you can get appointments the same day, or the next day. I would NOT advise that you pull the tooth yourself, particularly if it's very badly decayed as it could easily break when you try to pull it, causing further problems.

write to all the dental practises in your targeted area enclosing your CV plus a personnel introduction letter from your last dentist employer... this never fails especially if he/she knows your new employer. that is if you are everything you have told us here of course.

go to your local dentists website\n\nfind his email adress and email him. Surely he'll say yes. Worst comes to worst it will be an interview via email.

It depends on the business and where you're from.  It might be OK to set up as a Builder, but probably not OK to set up as a Dentist.  Broadly, the legal situation is the same across the EU - so if you're OK in the UK you will probably be OK in Holland and France.  \n\nThe Caribbean is a different matter, the only thing you can do is check carefully with the Employment Ministry for the particular island you want to work in.
