JGB Posted October 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Has anyone done the teeth whitening service? Is it legit? Jgb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted October 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Why would anyone have this done with someone they do not know and have no way to vet? Seems to be if you are going to do this find someone at home who comes highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryred Posted October 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2017 My (adult) son had this done while cruising. The procedure did work, brightened his teeth about 6 shades and looked great in the Elegant Evening photos. BUT for the rest of the week long cruise he could not drink coffee, red wine, or any of the colorful drinks, not even non-alcoholic ones. He also was told to avoid the sauces and gravies used on most of the main entrees and starters, and no pizza with sauce only the white pie. For a $119 - 169, one would think that the treatment that they use would be less diet restrictive than the ones offered by most dentists for $69-99. I went to my dentist had the procedure done a week after my bi-annual cleaning and insurance covered it that I spent only $30. The procedure the dental hygienist used only put me on a diet restrictions for 72 hours rather than 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea4ular Posted October 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2017 There are several things offered in the spa that give me the creeps (due to the semi-invasive nature)...teeth whitening and acupuncture are at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet people have it done by people they have no clue as to whether they know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDB37 Posted October 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2017 We made a bad choice and had teeth whitening done on a Celebrity cruise a few years ago. The young lady who did the whitening was pleasant enough and our teeth were indeed brighter when she had finished. Unfortunately so were out gums, which had been burned quite badly. They recovered in a week or two but it wasn’t a pleasant experience. We thought about complaining but didn’t want to get the employee in trouble.

crusinpsychRN Posted October 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I remember a post here where a woman described getting the whitening done early in the cruise, then spent the rest of the cruise in pain and hardly able to eat. I'd say just time it right. I think that was the old method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had acupuncture for arthritis in my left knee. Worked for 14 hours, no pain. Wish it lasted longer. Got a cortisone injection from my GP which did nothing. Then an orthopedic doc gave me one and it hasn't hurt bad since--4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted October 28, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2017 You do NOT want to do this on vacation...buy some Crest Whitestrips.....and make sure to use "sensitive toothpaste" while you're doing this....whitening can really cause MAJOR tooth pain/sensitivity. Don't do what amounts to a medical procedure on a freaking cruise ship. That's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyZkaaayk Posted October 29, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Back in September, we took the embarkation day spay tour. We spoke to the lady that does the teeth whitening. She stated that she uses the teeth whitening procedure herself yet her teeth where a tan-ish color; they did not look white at all! We quickly passed on it.

Rare Keith1010 Posted October 29, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I would do this at home either purchasing it on your own or getting fitted at the dentist and then getting the actual whitening product on your own. I would not do it on the ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanmarcosman Posted October 29, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Back in September, we took the embarkation day spay tour. Teeth whitening is one thing but spaying and neutering pets on a cruise is something else. I can't think of a worse idea. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted October 29, 2017 #19 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I would never do a dental procedure(teeth whitening) on a cruise ship! Acupuncture is totally different though and NOT invasive at all. I would do it if I was in pain and wanted the pain to stop or lessen or if I had a fresh injury like an ankle sprain etc. since acupuncture works best if done immediately .
