 Hi everybody, Andrea here. So I have been in the dental profession for about 19 years now, almost 19 years. And I have been teeth whitening for that long as well. So I have been teaching with the Whitening Pro Academy people how to start their own teeth whitening business, whether you're a dental professional or not. And let me go through some of the most common questions, the emails that I get almost on a daily basis. The first question that I get is, is teeth whitening legal where I live? So you will let me know where you live, obviously. And then you are going to ask me, well, can I have my own teeth whitening business here? Because if you do a quick search online, it's probably going to tell you no, you can't. It can only be done at a dental office or yes, you can, but only certain types of peroxides can be used or no, you can't. You can only do it if you're a dental professional. So this is a common question. And I do have to talk to you about this a little bit further. So please email me. But basically, yes, you can. Teeth whitening is not regulated. Anybody can buy teeth whitening peroxides off of Amazon. It's true. Do a search right now and you can buy teeth whitening peroxides on Amazon, but they're not going to be good for you. They're not FDA approved and you just shouldn't do it. So how I feel is I'm actually helping people. I am helping to train you, whether you are a dental professional or not, to become a teeth whitening technician. I give you peroxides that are FDA approved. I send them to you and then you can order them yourself when you have your own business because you are a teeth whitening technician. You're providing safe and effective teeth whitening to people, whereas otherwise they can just order it from Amazon themselves. So depending on what you are reading, if you're a dental professional or not, you might only be allowed to use certain peroxides, but I can help you. Like I can help you with that, you guys. I can send you the right peroxides to you and you have to be certified. I help you with that as well. So not anybody can just start their own teeth whitening business. They're going to get in trouble because you do need infection control courses. You need to know saliva is contaminated so you can't just use the same cheek retractor on everybody as an example. So I teach you guys that. That is the number one most common question. Number two is, can I make money doing this? What's the profit margin? So if you have to spend just to make it easy numbers, $100 on teeth whitening expenses, but you can only charge, I don't know, $10. That's a bad example, but it wouldn't be worth it, right? So whitening has limited expenses, which is fantastic. Of course, to get you started, you're going to need a course to get you certified. You are going to need the initial supplies and equipment such as the peroxides, a shade guide, the LED light, masks, bibs, gloves, all of that. But then you can start working right away once you are certified. You can charge your clients upwards to let's say $200. Your expenses might be very, very minimal. So you're always making a profit. Depending on the peroxides that you have to reorder, let's say, you might be spending $40 for that reorder. And that's good for 10 patients. So again, easy numbers. If you're charging $200 for one patient and for 10 patients, you have $40 in product. You're doing pretty well, right? So yes, you can absolutely make a profit doing this and you can make it quickly too, which is fantastic. Any of your business expenses are going to be just that. Business expenses, you are going to claim your income, claim your expenses so you get a tax credit. Number three, the most common question is, how do I start? You know, either if I'm a dental professional or not, how do I get started doing this? And you help me. So it's one thing to learn how to whiten the teeth. But then if you're left to your own devices, you might be wondering, I don't know how to market. I don't know how to advertise. Do I make a website? Do I just go on social media? Do I dance around to like advertise teeth whitening? I help you guys with all of that. So included in the Whitening Pro Academy teeth whitening course, which is all online, by the way, there's a business component too. I teach you guys how to market, advertise, how to get new clients, how to follow up, how to sell on the side, say at home whitening kits, extra peroxides, toothpaste, toothbrushes, whatever. I teach you guys how to have a full on teeth whitening business so you can have an amazing business with flexible hours. I hope this helped you guys. Please comment with any questions.
