Changes to the DBA fact sheet on the use and supply of teeth whitening products.

The Dental Board of Australia (the Board) has updated its fact sheet on using and supplying teeth whitening products for dental practitioners and this is now available on the Board's website.

The significant points of note are:

1. Only registered dental practitioners can use and supply high concentration teeth whitening products.
2. No current laws or regulations limit teeth whitening products to in-clinic use.

The fact sheet gives dental practitioners an overview of the laws and professional obligations that apply when they use teeth whitening products as part of their practice.
