As users are faced with what to spend their reduced disposable on then tooth whitening is competing directly with purchases like the Iphone, Nintendo Wii and fashion items like handbags and jewellery.

Like many large cities across the UK souls are looking to improve their appearance and self confidence and many industries have grown as a result of this trend. These include health clubs, beauty salons and more recently laser teeth specialists offering treatments to whiten teeth and give customers the bright white smile they desire.

Along with many other patterns of beauty treatments and ways to improve your wellbeing and generally make yourself feel more adept laser teeth treatment is now a popular treatment for many who strive for personal improvement and a whiter smile.

Laser teeth whitening is performed in many salons through trained professionals who apply a chemical usually chlorine dioxide on the teeth and then the laser oxidises the chemical which speeds up the process and the whole treatment is then undertaken in an hour resulting in the staining being removed.

With more souls becoming focused on improving their appearance, many are selecting teeth whitening. The instinctual colour of teeth changes as we age. Stains from food, tobacco and liquids that we drink cause dark discolorations.

Fortunately the process is no longer something that has to be done just in a dentist office, or only at very high cost. A little internet research can be performed to detect the best choice for your needs.

Teeth are very much unparalleled to each individual and therefore impossible to promise exacting results and the end result will change depending on the amount of staining they had in the first place. Typically things like coffee, tea, red wine and smoking are the main things that stain teeth and after laser teeth whitening it are recommended to reduce the consumption to obviate re-staining of the teeth.

Interestingly as the credit crunch hits the UK consumers are also thinking about teeth whitening as a real substitute to buying items like iPods, designer clothes or even other beauty treatments as they desire the glowing white smile but do not necessarily have enough money to spread for other purchases.

The first thing that you notice to a person when having a conversation is their teeth. Healthy bright white teeth always get special and excess attention.

The laser teeth whitening is a huge industry and with added gains like helping clients to quit smoking no wonder customers are prepared to travel to get the treatment.

It is tenably that the teeth whitening business will continue to grow as happy customers with a glowing smile and white teeth are the best adverts for the treatment and if customers can improve their confidence as a result of the laser teeth whitening treatment then this can only be a great thing.

Patient 'killed unlawfully' by GP

By Nick Triggle and Emma Wilkinson
Health reporters, BBC News

An overseas doctor employed to provide out-of-hours care unlawfully killed a patient, a coroner has ruled.

German GP Daniel Ubani - on his first NHS shift - gave patient David Gray, 70, an overdose of diamorphine.

He was working for Take Care Now, a company that provided care in Cambridgeshire.

Coroner William Morris said the doctor had been "incompetent" and called for a shake-up of the out-of-hours care system to ensure patient safety.

“ We want to see him tried under UK law for his death but we also want safeguards put in place nationwide to prevent this happening again ”

He said Dr Ubani had made "a gross error" and was "not of an acceptable standard" in carrying out his duties in Cambridgeshire in February 2008.

But he also criticised the "insufficient induction" he was given by Take Care Now as well as the NHS system which meant his skills were not properly assessed. The company's contract has now been terminated.

Mr Morris called for a review of European regulations which allow free movement of doctors, a national database of overseas doctors applying to work in out-of-hours services in the NHS, and more consistent standards in monitoring by local health chiefs working for primary care trusts.

A second patient Dr Ubani had treated - Iris Edwards, 86 - was ruled by the inquest to have died of natural causes.

Dr Ubani had had an application to work in the UK rejected by the NHS in Leeds because of inadequate English.

But he later got approval in Cornwall after they did not test his language skills.

Mr Morris also said there should be better assessment by the NHS of overseas doctors' ability to work in the UK.

'Profound apology'

Cambridgeshire Primary Care Trust issued a "profound apology" in court to the families of David Gray and other patients treated that day.

The PCT said Dr Ubani had delivered "substandard and dangerous treatment", and it apologised for "these failures and failures in the system".

Mr Gray's son Stuart, who is a GP, said: "My father's tragic death happened because of Dr Ubani's actions and because of serious failings within the Cambridgeshire Primary Care Trust and Take Care Now.

"We want to see him tried under UK law for his death but we also want safeguards put in place nationwide to prevent this happening again."

He added that proficiency in English should be an requirement for those applying to work as doctors in the UK and that there should be mandatory training before overseas doctors start work for the NHS and training on out of hours systems needs to be an essential part of that programme.

Peter Walsh, chief executive of Action Against Medical Accidents, said there are "systemic failings" which could affect anyone using out-of-hours care and called for an urgent wide-ranging review.

NICK TRIGGLE, HEALTH REPORTER BBC NEWS AT THE INQUEST
It was an innocuous setting from which from which to lay bare the failings of the out-of-hours GP system.

But the verdict given by William Morris at the coroner's court in the Cambridgeshire town of Wisbech could end up being the catalyst the system needs.

His 70-minute reading raised serious questions about the standards of care provided not only to David Gray but everyone who needs help at night and at the weekends.

The coroner did not leave anyone out. He criticised everyone from the government and General Medical Council down.

How was it, he asked, that a doctor who was unfamiliar with the NHS, whose first language was not English and who was tired from travelling from his home in Germany was allowed to see patients with very little support?

That, in a nutshell, is the crux of a very complex issue - and one that everyone involved in the system is now trying to answer.

"No-one in their right mind would design out-of-hours services they way they currently exist across England if they started with a blank piece of paper," he said.

Mr Gray was suffering from renal colic when he was given 10 times the normal amount of the painkiller diamorphine by Dr Ubani at his home in Manea, Cambridgeshire on February 16 2008, and was pronounced dead fours hour later, the hearing was told.

In April 2009, the German authorities gave Dr Ubani a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and he was ordered to pay a £4,500 fine for causing Mr Gray's death by negligence.

But he continues to practise as a cosmetic surgeon in the west German town of Witten.

The German conviction meant he could not be extradited to face possibly more serious charges in the UK.

Ms Edwards' case was not part of the criminal inquiry, although medical experts believe she was inappropriately treated and should have been sent to hospital.

Mr Gray's family are now appealing to the European Court of Human Rights as the German authorities have refused an extradition request because of the action taken against him.

'Unacceptable variation'

The government, which had carried out a review of out-of-hours services in advance of today's verdict acknowledged improvements in the system were needed.

Changes will be made in the coming months but it is not yet clear whether they will meet the demands of the family or the coroner.

Dr David Colin-Thome who led the review said: "The quality of out-of-hours care for most people is better than it was in 2004 but there is unacceptable variation in how services are implemented and monitored around the country."

Responding to the coroner's inquest, Christine Braithwaite, head of investigation and enforcement at the CQC said: "The death of David Gray was a tragedy.

"It should not have happened and such an incident must not happen again.

"The coroner has clearly highlighted what went wrong.

"Take Care Now, and the PCTs that commission its services, must learn the lessons."

The Patient's Association said they had repeatedly called for PCTs to take their responsibilities on out-of-hours care seriously.

"The urgency of the out-of-hours situation is critical. Every PCT or equivalent throughout the UK should reassure their patients that the out of hours service for which they are paying is safe."
