🎙️ Whitening Wednesday Episode 69: Tooth Shades and Abnormalities
📣Not all teeth are created equal — and your whitening results shouldn’t be either. In this episode, we dive into the difference between natural tooth shade variations and abnormalities like erosion, attrition, and bruxism that impact results.
You’ll learn why some clients just don’t hit B1 (and shouldn’t), how to spot structural red flags, and how to confidently educate without diagnosing.
We’re putting an end to the “guaranteed results” myth and giving you the clinical context you actually need to run a safe, ethical, and results-driven whitening business.
🧬 Genetics, 🥤 consumption habits, 🦷 wear and tear — it all matters.
