A Welsh dentist has shared a simple teeth whitening routine that he says can cost as little as 36p a day, as Amazon’s best-selling Dr Dent Professional Teeth Whitening Strips go on sale.
The advice comes as teeth whitening climbs beauty wish lists across the UK at the start of the New Year, with many people looking for affordable ways to boost confidence. For a limited time, Amazon shoppers can save £10.99 on the Dr Dent strips, reducing the price from £25.99 to £15 for a pack of 42. The offer, which runs until January 31, brings the cost down to around 36p per strip.
The dentist, who posts oral health tips on TikTok under the name tonys, said maintaining a stain-free smile does not require expensive clinic treatments. Instead, he recommends a few everyday habits combined with gentle at-home products.
In a video shared on Dr Dent’s website, he outlined his three main tips. First, he advised switching to an electric toothbrush, saying there is little reason to continue using a manual one. Second, he suggested that tea and coffee drinkers rinse their mouth with water after each cup to reduce staining. Finally, he recommended peroxide-free whitening strips, describing them as more gentle on enamel and less likely to cause sensitivity.
According to Dr Dent, the strips are designed to whiten teeth in 30 to 60 minutes a day and provide a convenient alternative to in-clinic treatments. The brand claims the strips use premium whitening agents to lift stains caused by coffee, wine, soft drinks, food and smoking, with teeth appearing up to eight times brighter with consistent use.
Each box contains 42 whitening strips, a mouth opener to help with application, clear instructions and a progress guide. The brand also claims the slip-free formula can remove up to 14 years of built-up stains while remaining comfortable to wear.
Shoppers looking for alternatives can consider the Oral-B Intensive Whitening Bundle from Boots for £40, which includes two whitening toothpastes. Smile Therapy is also offering its Teeth Cleaning & Whitening Strips for £17.99, reduced from £39.99, with claims of visible results after one full treatment.
The Dr Dent Professional Teeth Whitening Strips currently hold a 4.1 out of five-star rating on Amazon, based on more than 5,000 reviews. Many customers praise their ease of use, affordability and lack of sensitivity, with some reporting noticeable results after just a few applications.
