Tried the method posted by @pneumocystosis
Ordered 44% hydrogen peroxide gel and gingival barrier from laserglowspa dot com as well as a silicone cheek retractor and random 450nm UV light from china. Sunglasses for protecting eyes from the light
Did not follow his procedure exactly- he says to leave the gel for 30 minutes, which is not necessary. Customer service reps at laserglowspa (they do these procedures irl) said that the gel denatures after 15 or so minutes, and you should wipe it off and reapply. This should be done 1-3 times back to back.
I applied the barrier and the gel onto dry teeth and gums, left it for 15 minutes, wiped off, reapplied and left for 15m, wiped off, reapplied and left for ~8 min. The last application was cut short because some of the gel got onto a spot on top of a bottom tooth with thinner enamel, and it started causing pain. The pain went away after I wiped it off and rinsed my mouth. I applied the barrier well and did not get any on my gums or skin thankfully.
Before:
During:
After:
As you can see it worked a tiny bit. I am not really sure why my results were minimal compared to the guy who made the post. I don’t think I was sold bad gel, laserglowspa says the product is for “in office use only” and warns not to use it at home. It’s a possibility that my gel degraded a bit since there was a couple weeks between the gel arriving and my UV light arriving, although the gel was stored in the fridge unopened immediately after being delivered. Sensitivity is not too bad although it will probably get worse over the next few hours. I have been using sensodyne toothpaste for the past month, and let some sit on my teeth after the procedure which will hopefully help.
TLDR: pay up to Go to the fucking dentist and don’t do dental procedures written by autistic people on forums
