Cosmetic whitening, and where the line is
What you are allowed to do, what you are not, and why that boundary protects you.
What you will learn
- The difference between what you do and what a dentist does
- Why you never diagnose, and what to say instead
- When to send somebody to their dentist

A dentist works with high concentrations, usually 22% to 38% hydrogen peroxide. At that strength the gums have to be protected with a gingival barrier, a resin painted along the gum line and cured hard before any gel goes on.
The rest of this lesson
- The words that keep you safe when you have to turn a client away
- Why spotting a problem and naming one are different acts, and only one is yours
- What to tell a client who does not know whether they are a candidate
Still free. We ask who you are once, and the whole course opens for you.
