According to General Dental Council this practise is ILLLEGAL, yet this is widley advertised in every paper, trade show, beauty salon?They claim if information is sent to them of this practise they will investigate and take them to court, they have prosecuted 1 person so far who actually claimed to be a dentist!!!
Pro cosmetic teeth whitening claim it is purely cosmetic that they are not dentists and it is Legal, one person i spoke to claimed that around 5 years ago the EU recognised this as a Cosmetic procedure, i cannot find anything about this???
It seems i am chasing my tail on this subject the GDC saying it's illegal well they are protecting the Dentists interest and then the companies that are performing the procedure saying it's not illegal!!
Can anybody givel me any legal advice on this subject or where i could find this supposed EU law on Cosmetic Teeth whitening?
As if it is illegal then why are they not doing more to stop it?I
COSMETIC Teeth Whitening...Legal or Illegal?
I think to be safe, you need to go to an actual Dentist. You will find they offer the service for at least £400 + (usually around £600) - not these other make shift companies, who are just in it for the money etc. At least you know a proper Dentist wouldn't perform an illegal procedure and risk losing their licence.
Reply:I thought there were issues with legality regarding Consumer Safety. Whether if was infact a safe product to use under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
The way i understand it, the only issues were people using the kit when their gums/teeth were in such a condition to cause more harm than good.
Reply:It is no longer illegal. check out http://www.teethwhiteningreviews.com for recent articles.
Reply:I had it done by my UK dentist that advertises it, it is not illegal,
cost about £500 - not really worth it tbh.
