I want teeth whitening but I have a crown on my front tooth will Teeth whitening work?

Q. Hi, I wish to have laser whitening. My local tanning salon offers in house laser whitening for a third of the price that dentists offer. How safe and or legal is it for me to have laser there? thank you, Y.

A. Dear Y,

It is illegal for anyone not qualified as a Dentist to carry out dentistry. This includes tooth whitening. However, if your local tanning center is employing a dentist to carry out this treatment this would be fine. Your teeth can be permanently damaged if incorrect products and techniques are used to whiten your teeth. Please make sure that only a qualified dentist carries out this procedure for you.
