Tips For Choosing The Right Teeth Whitening Treatment For You
• Interview the dentist and the practice. Don't just consider your own dentist, but consider a qualified dentist who does whitening daily.

• Buy only from dentists who have a multitude of options available (one-hour light procedure, Gel and Tray, Whitening Strips, etc).
• Educate yourself on the benefits and shortfalls of all whitening options and listen to what the dentist recommends.
• Only perform whitening under a qualified dentist's supervision. According to the FTC, many over-the-counter products make false or unproven claims and can mislead consumers.
