What the European Regulations state about dental whitening

The European Directive 2011/84/EU is the most innovative and advanced legislation on an international level, concerning safety and protection of consumers.
It acknowledges the conclusions of the Scientific Committee for the Safety of the Consumers (CSSC) creating a new legislative framework for whitening treatments with the aim of protecting consumers from the abuse of these products and a market without controls.

Abstract from EU DIRECTIVE 2011/84 OF THE COUNCIL

(3) The CSSC believes that using products for tooth whitening or bleaching with a percentage of hydrogen peroxide higher than 0.1 % and up to 6%, present or released from other compounds or mixtures contained in such products, is to be considered safe if the following conditions are met:

• a proper clinical examination is carried out in order to guarantee the lack of risk factors or of any other serious oral condition
• exposition to these products must be limited in order to guarantee that the products are used only according to indications, in terms of frequency and application time

Such conditions should be met in order to avoid improper uses to be reasonably expected.

(4) It is therefore necessary to regulate such products to guarantee that they are not directly accessible to consumers.

For each cycle of use of such products, the first use should be limited to dental professionals… or it should take place only under their direct supervision if an equivalent level of safety is guaranteed.

Dentists should then allow access to such products for the rest of the cycle.
