Edit How effective is tooth whitening treatments

<p><strong>Is the problem beyond the Beauty Salons?</strong></p> <p>Beauty salon owners are being sold systems by companies, promising massive profits on their sales. MegaWhite is one such company, and if you look at their website, all the text is focused on how much money the salon owner could make by selling the MegaWhite product.</p> <p>Here is a <a title="Beautician Caroline Sumpter paid Megawhite Express Teeth ­Whitening £1,500 only to be told by the General Dental Council that the practice is illegal." href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/teeth-whitening-dispute-nothing-smile-3210595" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent story</a> of how a salon owner bought into the MegaWhite brand, only to find out that it was illegal, plus MegaWhite's response to this.</p> <p><strong>Cheap Tooth Whitening</strong></p> <p>I personally think that these days, the biggest risk with teeth whitening is the risk to your wallet!</p> <p><strong><em>Many of the cheap systems use a whitening gel which simply does not work, but you may see visible results – so why is this?</em></strong></p> <p>Often when I am doing dental treatments for a long time, the teeth appear whiter at the end of treatment and this is because the teeth dehydrate. With most of these cheap systems, you are asked to put a gel on your teeth, and hold your mouth open in front of a light. This light is supposed to speed up the reaction.</p> <p><br />If you just had your mouth open for 30-40 minutes, then your teeth would probably look whiter, just from the dehydration. This is only temporary and after a day or so, they will be back to their original colour.</p> <p><strong><em>That’s a nice £100 down the drain, and because they were whiter when you left the salon, it’s almost impossible to get your money back!</em></strong> <br /> </p>
