RJ7591 Posted May 26, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I haven't had it done on the ship but did have it done at my dentist office. It worked great but my gums were very sensitive to the whitener and I had "ulcers" for almost a week. Not something I would have wanted during a cruise!

Gone_Kroozin Posted May 26, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Ask for Cirene on Miracle-she'll make your teeth sparkle! I've been on 4 cruises with her and she's wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky61 Posted May 26, 2010 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Why not be safe and ask your dentist if it works?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolinagirl82 Posted May 26, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2010 You can have the same thing done at your dentists office for $100 cheaper.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamirpr Posted May 26, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2010 One of our table mates did this on the first day at sea. She was miserable the whole rest of the cruise. The treatment made her teeth extremely sensitive and she was in a good deal of pain whenever she would eat or drink anything. Not something I would want on vacation.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I would want on vacation.:( I'm echoing this...my friend did this before we left last year, she was miserable for the entire cruise because her teeth were so sensitive. Also, she said her teeth actually stained faster when she got back. Just IMO, I wouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay-eh Posted May 26, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Had two friends do it while on a cruise and suffered the whole time - like others say - do it at your own dentists office for half the price way ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted May 26, 2010 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I actually think the dentist where I live are more expensive. I have had both the cruise ship whitner and Brite Smile ($499.00 plus they try to sell you products and an every six month touchup). My cruise ship experience was that my teeth were brought up a few shades. IMHO, it took off surface stains. What they use on a cruise ship is not nearly as potent as a Dentist has available. Plus, you are limited on what you can eat and drink for 24 hours and who wants those limitations when they're on a cruise. The Brite Smile treatment is much better and last longer. My DH had a bad experience at our Dentist office from an untrained tech so things can happen anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuttycruisegirl Posted May 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted May 26, 2010 It does work very well...but...I did it just before Christmas two years ago...and ruined my holiday. I also got the ulcers on my lips and gums...wasn't worth it. I'd hate to be miserable with mouth pain on a cruise...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted May 26, 2010 #11 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Why would you want someone you do not know and have no clue to about their competence do this to you while on vacation? Same about accupuncture. Amazes me what people will do while on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same about accupuncture. Amazes me what people will do while on a cruise. I agree. I work at a dental office where we do this procedure everyday. We take a complete medical history as well as do an oral exam prior to whitening. Some people should not have it done due to taking medications that make then photosensitive etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 26, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Whitening can cause EXTREME sensitivity...on vacation is NOT the time for that to happen! Go to your dentist, or start using Crest (or some other brand) of whitestrips...they work! Use Sensodyne, too, to help with the sensitivity issues!
