Learn how to become a teeth whitening professional in just one hour!

Diamond Dave says it’s easy money. Even though it is illegal.

Over recent months we have warned on numerous occasions that it is unlawful for anyone other than a qualified, registered dentist, dental hygienist or dental therapist to perform teeth whitening treatment. Yet when a national newspaper recently carried out an undercover investigation they discovered that the practice of illegal teeth whitening by unqualified beauticians and hairdressers etc at hundreds of rogue salons is still rife and is endangering customers’ health. At one salon the newspaper investigated, total novices were being taught how to become a teeth whitening professional on one-hour courses costing less than £300.[caption id="attachment_3853" align="aligncenter" width="200"]

However the course contained virtually no information on vital medical matters – including what to do is a customer suffers an allergic reaction. Instead the trainer, who called himself Diamond Dave, spent most of the time promising the undercover journalist that it was the easiest money they’ll ever make.The law is quite clear that teeth whitening is a dental treatment, making it illegal for anyone not qualified and registered to provide it. So far the General Dental Council (GDC) has investigated over 300 beauticians for carrying out illegal teeth whitening treatments.In the wrong hands the powerful bleaching agent used for whitening teeth can result in the loss of teeth and actually cause disfiguring burns to the mouth, gums and lips. Far from being a competent and qualified teeth whitening professional these rogue practices risk inflicting serious harm to their unwitting customers.At Carisbrook Dental we have witnessed many distressing instances of illegal teeth whitening treatments provided by unqualified people that have gone wrong.
