Nothing on this site is medical or dental advice. I’m not a dentist, a hygienist, or any kind of licensed healthcare provider — I’m a writer who researches and tests oral care products. See my full background if you want the details.
What this site is for
Everything here reflects my personal experience testing products and my own research into the claims behind them. It’s meant to help you think through a purchase decision, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
What this site isn’t for
If you have a dental or health concern — pain, bleeding, sensitivity that doesn’t go away, anything that worries you — talk to a licensed dentist or doctor. Don’t delay care or ignore professional advice because of something you read on this site. Product results vary from person to person, and nothing here is a substitute for an actual exam.
Whitening and sensitive situations
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have existing dental work like crowns or veneers, or have a history of tooth or gum sensitivity, check with your dentist before trying any whitening product mentioned on this site, regardless of what the product’s own marketing claims about safety.
Product claims
Where a product’s marketing makes a specific claim I can’t independently verify — a stated number of shades whiter, an unnamed “dentist-recommended” endorsement, a percentage improvement — I say so in the review. Those claims belong to the manufacturer, not to me, and I don’t repeat them as established fact.
