 Hello everybody, Andrea here. So there's been a lot of talks about what kind of teeth whitening business you can have. The good news is everybody and anybody can open up their teeth whitening business. It just depends on what type of teeth whitening products you are allowed to use and how you would administer those to your clients. So typically please check where you live, what the rules are. In most cases I tell people, check with your local hair salons, spas. Are they offering teeth whitening? Ask them. If they are, then ask them what certification they have. And if they have to be dental professionals or not, sometimes you do not have to be. For example, in my area you do have to be a dental professional to have a teeth whitening business. But if you're not a dental professional you can still kind of work around that and that is called the self-administer method. That's what I call it. So you would basically have the supplies, like I said, give them to your patients and they would basically use it themselves. So that's what I'm going to show you guys. And that's quite often how it works if you're not a current dental professional and if you're adding it on to your beauty business, lash business, hair salon, this is the type of method you can use. In some cases though, you can also do the other method as well if you are certified and that's what you will all be anyway, but please check what you are allowed to do. But let me just quickly talk about the self-administer method. This is this amazing kit that you would order with your wholesale account that only teeth whitening technicians can order. This is the highest strength carbomide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide whitening pens included to actually do a good job and whiten the teeth. So you would order these kits one per person. And what comes inside the kit are, there's a pretreatment spray that I don't actually have because that's my kit, so I have used it up. There's a pretreatment spray that you would spray inside the mouth and then brush the teeth like toothpaste, spit, and then that helps to keep the teeth clean in preparation for the teeth whitening process. It comes with a reusable tray. One size fits all, you click the button to turn on the light. The light is what activates the hydrogen peroxide and carbomide peroxide to really work. That's a question is, do you need the light or not? You don't need it, but it would take a lot longer to work. Using the light means you can have a treatment in 15 minutes. I like to leave it in for half an hour because my clients probably feel like they're getting a better deal. I let them use these at home and I tell them to do it for half an hour. So shine the light. And what you do is inside the box, it comes with two whitening pens. These are what the whitening pens look like. So super easy for you or your client to apply with a little brush, this is mine. You would just simply put it on the top and the bottom teeth like that, turn this to bring up the whitening product, very, very easy. You would have the, you know, smile like that. Very, very simple. Turn on the light, put it in. And that's it, very, very easy. This light turns off in 15 minutes. You would take it out, wipe off the product. There's going to be lots of saliva and then I would add more for another 15 minutes. And then after that, the patient is done, easy peasy. They can wipe off their mouth with a Kleenex, whatever they want to do. They can even have some water, that's okay. Anything other than water though might stain the teeth because your tooth pores, so to speak, are a little more open for the next hour. So I tell my clients no eating or drinking for the next hour. What I did also forget to mention was it comes with a very cool shade guide. So I do tell my students to order a more professional looking shade guide for them to have. If you sign up for the teeth whitening course and get the full equipment package, you will be sent a more professional looking shade guide. But this is kind of nice for your patients to take with them. This is included in the kit. So you can mark off their before shade. So always check before and then mark off their aftershade and let them know they can whiten literally as often as they want. I tell clients it's like hair color. Some people like to do it every four to six weeks, four to eight weeks, or once every six months. I typically whiten my teeth once every three months. And they have this kit, oops, as I'm dropping things, they have this kit to keep. And that's the nice thing. You're not just doing it for them and then saying, okay, thank you, bye. You are giving them this whole kit for them to use at home. Clients love that. So then that way they can touch it up themselves, make sure they purchase a couple of these whitening pens. You would purchase these at wholesale and charge about $20 to $25 each to your clients. It's about three to four different times of the teeth whitening and they look like this. And that kit comes with the USB chargeable charger. So they can charge it up. I typically charge mine every time just because I want the light to be nice and strong. So I do it for 15 minutes and then 15 minutes again and then I'll just charge it so I know it will be ready for next time. So see how easy that is. That is considered the self-administering method. So you're not actually right up on the patient, applying peroxides to the teeth, technically damaging the gums. You are supplying them the product and helping them with it. You are allowed to put this on your patient's teeth. That's what I would suggest doing. Since they have come to you, act like the professional, be the professional, put it on their teeth. Super easy. Just don't put it on the gums. I do explain everything inside the course. Very, very simple, but you don't have to worry. You might see those other teeth whitening videos where they put on what's called a blue or red gingival barrier. That's harder to do. It can burn the gums. If the whitening solution gets on there, this won't burn the gums because it's meant to be used at home, okay? But it still does an amazing job and your client can't purchase these kits just on their own. You have to supply it for them. So kind of a nice way to do it. And I like to tell my students with the pandemic, you're probably not allowed to whiten the teeth anyway, even if you could do it for them professionally. Let them know they can purchase these kits to touch it up themselves at home during this pandemic. So it's amazing. So let me know you guys have any questions and I'll talk to you guys in the next one.
