MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Supreme Court is blocking the sale of the teeth-whitening product LightWhite in hair salons in Alabama. The product’s maker, White Smile USA, and the owners of a hair salon in Montgomery, Randall’s, had sued state Board of Dental Examiners in an effort to apply the product in salons. The board argued that the salons would be practicing dentistry. A Montgomery judge had ruled that the sale and application of LightWhite in a hair salon constituted the practice of dentistry. The state Supreme Court agreed in an unanimous decision Friday.
