I've been seeing alot of beauticians offering tooth whitening lately.
This is ILLEGAL and very dangerous for the those receiving the whitening.
Please see a GDC registered dentist or dental hygiene/therapist to receive tooth whitening. These are the only professionals who are legally allowed to perform tooth whitening!

If you are considering offering tooth whitening and you are not on our register, you are likely to be breaking the law and you are putting yourself at risk of prosecution in the criminal courts.
