This puppy is going to zero. You would have to be a brain-dead idiot dentist to have a daily target of 15,000.oo a day or 3.9 million a year. I have no idea what they are charging for this light, but anything at all is too much. The state of dental whitening is this. The only thing proven to whitening teeth for any length of time is a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide for extended periods of time. ALL dental lights and/or lasers have yet to be proven to do anything more than add a dehydrating whitening effect that fades in 24-48 hours. Any lasting results, are made by the sole application of peroxide and time. This is widely known in the dental industry. If Britesmile's solution is actually dissolving enamel to increase the depth of peroxide, then the teeth will darken back at an ever increasing rate since the teeth are now more porous and the underlying dentin layer is innately darker to begin with. The fact that it is destroying sound tooth structure is another serious problem all together. I guess this is why you have so many dentists "lineing up" to put one in their office.
