Comments on: Top Teeth Whitening Brands http://www.dentalblogs.com/archives/administrator-2/top-teeth-whitening-brands/ dental news for dentists from the best minds in dentistry today Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:40:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Jonathan Campbell, DDS http://www.dentalblogs.com/archives/administrator-2/top-teeth-whitening-brands/comment-page-1/#comment-36406 Jonathan Campbell, DDS Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:17:12 +0000 http://www.dentalblogs.com/?p=3553#comment-36406 I wonder as a dentist if there are actually any benefits to the dentist supervised whitening offerings other than prediction as to who will whiten predictably and who will not. I routinely advise patients that have interest in whitening but are concerned about the costs to use P&G's white strips. The one concern many mention is that the strips are messy and a little difficult to keep positioned on the teeth. That is probably an advantage of professional whitening; less mess and better fitting trays.

It seems that every toothpaste known to man has that feature (it didn't before?). Besides that they have each come out with tons of new teeth whitening products. You can see why that segment is going up. The two companies found something they liked and are using it to death.
