I am wondering how laser tooth whitening works since it does not actually scrub the tooth or paint it like those products that are in the store. I have heard of people evening bleaching their teeth to have whiter teeth and obviously that is explained in the name of the procedure.

My family dentist offers the laser tooth whitening but I heard that it is expensive. I may just ask one of the dental assistants about it next time I am in there for my cleaning or for one of the kids. If they can explain to me exactly how I works and if you have to keep going back or not to maintain the whiteness then I might consider it if the price is not too outrageous.

I know that my dental insurance will not cover it since they would not even cover the bill from my family dentist for my daughter’s retainer. Apparently anything that they consider cosmetic is not covered and I am sure that laser tooth whitening is a cosmetic procedure. My husband might not want to go along with it but since he had no problem paying for the breast augmentation surgery that I had last year, this should be a drop in the bucket compared to that.
