Nothing To Smile About: Teeth Whitening Problems Redux [Video] http://is.gd/pFxZ

One year after teeth whitening gone wrong.

NBC Washington recently interviewed me for story about the dangers of teeth whitening. The video aired on 03/27/09 and is available on their website. (If you are reading this story in a feed reader, then you may need to click through to see the video.)

My blog post on teeth whitening problems is nearly one year old and remains the most popular article on my blog. As I said in the story, I have not sued anybody and instead have focused on trying to prevent others from making the same mistake that I did.

My advice is this: do not get ultraviolet light teeth whitening. Some claim that "sensitive skin" is the problem, but that's like saying, "Sensitive eggs might end up cooked when put in a hot frying pan." UV teeth whitening is inherently unsafe. That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
