Does the manufacturer conduct research that evaluates the safety and effectiveness of their teeth whitening products?
Some companies (typically the market leaders) budget money so they can conduct research into the safety and effectiveness of their whitening products. While you may not have access to a dental library or the expertise interpret what has been written, companies often provide access to abstracts of this literature on their websites (usually it’s in the “for dental professionals” portion of their website). The existence of published research implies a seriousness with which a company pursues its mission of producing quality products. It may surprise you but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not govern teeth whitening products. Therefore manufacturers may not have performed the extensive testing you might anticipate before they bring a teeth whitening product to market. Manufacturing leaders will conduct research and share their findings so dentists and consumers alike can feel comfortable with and knowledgeable about their product.
