SDI is committed to offering dental team training opportunities to use our Pola whitening products safely and effectively.
The demand for whitening treatment shows no sign of abating. Patients request whitening for various reasons—to remove staining, boost confidence, or look good for a special occasion. In the age of the selfie and social media, the constant pressure to look good is encouraging more and more people to find ways to improve their appearance, and the whole dental team needs to be trained and ready to satisfy this demand.
Whitening patients of all ages are looking for effective results and a treatment that suits their lifestyle. Branching out into whitening is turning out to be a profitable move for many high-street dentists, including NHS dentists.
The legalities of whitening
As with the introduction of any new treatment, the whole dental team needs the appropriate training to provide and promote the benefits of whitening. They need to understand they are in a unique position as under European law whitening can only be carried out by a dentist or other regulated dental health professional, such as a dental hygienist or therapist working under the prescription of a dentist.
Anyone else offering tooth whitening, such as hairdressers or beauticians, are breaking the law and lack adequate training and knowledge. This could result in permanent damage to patients’ teeth and gums.
Training opportunities
SDI is committed to offering dental team training opportunities to use our pola whitening products safely and effectively. This includes customised promotional materials, such as posters, leaflets, stickers, and bags, to be displayed prominently in reception and treatment rooms. These materials explain the facts and benefits of tooth whitening so patients can make an informed choice.
We offer in-practice product demonstrations and FREE ‘Lunch & Learn’ sessions worth one hour of verifiable CPD. Our highly trained representatives provide effective training to ensure the whole team is confident enough to recommend and deliver each patient’s most suitable whitening option to achieve a whiter, brighter smile.
With the most appropriate dental team training and the right system, whitening with Pola can become one of the best ways to expand treatment options, attract and retain more patients, and generate a more profitable practice.
