 Let's talk teeth whitening businesses. Having your own teeth whitening business is an amazing profitable opportunity, not only for dental professionals, but also for those who have no dental experience. You do not need to be a dental professional to open up your own teeth whitening business. And even having that said, dental professionals are so worried to open up their teeth whitening business because they don't want to conflict with their dental hygiene or dental assisting association because we have so many rules on what we can do, what we can say, like it's, it's silly. I mean, if I can say that we have so many rules, but they are there for a reason. I mean, you wouldn't want to see your dental hygienist out at the bar, getting drunk, going crazy. I mean, we're real people too, but there are certain rules that are our license can actually be taken away if a patient was to complain about us. But anyway, we're talking about teeth whitening. So teeth whitening here, you do not have to be a dental professional to open up your own teeth whitening business. And for dental professionals, you don't have to worry because teeth whitening is non-regulated. You aren't using any of your dental expertise, for example, to start your own teeth whitening business or to whiten teeth. Same as somebody who's not a dental professional. If they learn how to whiten teeth, if they're certified and they're doing it properly by getting FDA approved products, how is that a bad thing? It's a good thing. Your neighbor can purchase peroxides from Amazon. And they can sell those to other people who want to whiten their teeth. And they could even attempt to whiten their teeth with those Amazon peroxides. I just picked Amazon because everybody knows Amazon. And but those products aren't FDA approved. You can damage the teeth. You can damage the gums, not to mention other things. So isn't it so much better to say you are a teeth whitening technician who has been trained, who has been certified. You know what you're doing. It's an amazing thing. So either dental professionals can do it or not, or non dental professionals. Speaking about dental professionals a little bit, if you are a dental professional, as long as you're not doing any of your dental assisting duties or dental hygiene duties outside of the dental office, you're fine. So for example, I'm a dental hygienist. If I was to scale teeth without having my independent dental hygiene license, my own business here in Manitoba, you can have your own dental hygiene business. But let's say you're in the States where there are a lot of places where you cannot, you have to work in a dental office and be a dental hygienist. As long as I'm not scaling teeth because I can have my own business. But let's say I couldn't. As long as I'm not scaling teeth, I'm fine. I'm not doing any of my dental hygiene duties. I'm not scaling teeth or polishing teeth or doing anything like that. I'm applying peroxides. So dental assistants, it's no different. As long as you're not polishing teeth, taking impressions for night guards, even taking impressions for whitening, you're not allowed to do that. But applying peroxides, anybody can do it. Anybody can put peroxides in the trays or buy those syringes from Amazon and buy the micro brushes from Amazon and put it on your own teeth. Anybody can do it. You don't have to be a dental professional or not to get these whitening products, but having access to the FDA approved products can only be given to by a teeth whitening technician who is certified and has proof of that and or a dental professional. So if you're thinking about starting your own teeth whitening business because you love teeth or maybe it has nothing to do with teeth, you just really like the beauty industry. You want to provide cosmetics, aesthetic purposes, sorry, not cosmetics. That's not the right word. But you're you like the beauty industry. You want it for aesthetic purposes. You want to make people look good, feel good and you want your own business where you can have your own schedule, set your own hours, set up a nice little room in your own home and clients come to you or you go mobile to them. You can have your own teeth whitening business. As I mentioned in my blog article, I pay for a peroxide syringe. It's $30 and that can last up to 10 patients. Those micro brushes for one hundred could be nine to ten dollars. The LED teeth whitening light can go anywhere from 300 to a thousand, like depending on how much you want to spend on it. If you want timers on it, how nice you want it to look. If you want it to be on wheels, but it's very profitable. These things aren't expensive. It's not like you're spending thousands a month in materials. It's maybe $50 a month in materials. And if you see multiple clients a day, that's fantastic. If you're charging $100 to $200 per hour, isn't that amazing? I charge typically $200 to $250 per hour. So I'm making great money. And again, you guys, this is per hour. It's not per day. I don't know too many people who make $200 in a day, but you can. You can do it. It's the best feeling ever to have your own business. I teach you guys to how to tap into social media marketing. So how to look at Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, how to maybe write a blog if you wanted to do that, how to make your own website, how to make your own posts for social media, those nice Instagram stories and posts that people have, I teach you guys how to do that. So it's all in. I teach you guys everything. So if I haven't convinced you yet, you've been thinking about having your own teeth whitening business for a long time, but you're like, I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I'm allowed to do it. If I haven't convinced you yet, send me an email, talk to me. I'd love to hear your thoughts, okay? Because if you don't do it, somebody down the street is going to do it and make the money that you should be making and seeing the clients that you should be seeing. You can start off seeing friends and family and then go from there and make a great business for yourself. Take off time when you need to. See two patients a day. Make $400 a day just by seeing two patients. And then you have the rest of the day off to deal with your kids, you know, spells, clean the house, go to the spa, you know, whatever you want to do. So it really is an amazing business. No more working nine to five, making no money, being exhausted, not getting a lunch. Oh my goodness, I can go on here. So this is what you want to do, okay?
