With the New Year right around the corner, you might be thinking about how to spruce up various areas of your life. A great way to do that, and a means to boost your confidence, is by tackling the stains your pearly whites might have developed over the years.
Right now you can do it for less than £1 per day, with Dr Dent’s Professional Teeth Whitening Strips down to £19.95 from £25.99 (price correct at time of writing). With 21 treatments per pack, that works out to only 95p per round.
This dentist-approved treatment says it will gradually lift those tough stains off your teeth without harming your enamel or triggering sensitivity flare-ups. Coffee and red wine are two of the biggest culprits, and if your New Year’s resolution is to give up smoking then now’s the time to undo the yellowing caused by cigarettes too.

Each treatment takes just 30 to 60 minutes to complete, with Dr Dent saying you can get comparable results to getting your teeth whitened at a clinic. All ingredients are ethically sourced and natural, too.
Amazon customers have been blown away by the results, with an average of 4.6 out of 5 stars garnered from 1,474 reviews so far. “I ordered Dr. Dent whitening strips for the first time, and I’m extremely satisfied with the results!” said one five-star review. “I noticed a difference from the very first use—my teeth look so much brighter, and I’ve been getting tons of compliments on my smile.”
“In photos where I would normally be embarrassed to show my teeth when smiling, I have had the confidence to smile showing my teeth,” said another happy customer. Not everyone has had the same experience as one shopper said: “They seem to work temporarily but not for long term results".
Despite this the majority of reviews raved about the results as another shopper said: "Definitely a noticeable difference in colour even after one application. Fiddly strips that don’t stick too well though.” While another said: "I can see a noticeable difference in the colour of my teeth and the instructions were easy to follow and strips easy to use.”
Another added: “What stood out to me was how simple and convenient it is. The instructions were super clear, and it didn’t take much time to see results. After just a few uses, I could already tell my teeth were noticeably whiter. The best part? No sensitivity at all!”
If you’re keen to see some alternatives, there’s a comparable pack of 21 treatments available from MySweetSmile for £19.99 (down from £24.99 - making it 95p per strip). There’s also the Whites Beaconsfield Teeth Whitening Strips for £10.99 (down from £19.99) at Superdrug , promising results in 14 days or less - with two strips in the packet, it comes to £5.50 a pop.
At less than £1 per treatment, Dr Dent’s Professional Teeth Whitening Strips are an easy recommendation if you want to start your year with a fresher smile.
