the Price of Teeth Whitening

I took part in a 3 part teeth whitening regimen through my dentist. The total cost for all 3 treatments was $145.

When I had this service done I thought it was a great price but now I'm rethinking it.

This was a process that was being tested by my dentist. She said that since she didn't know the overall results (it was approved by the FDA, my dentist just hadn't used the product) she would give me a huge discount and only charge me her cost, which was $145 for 3 sessions.

Whatever it was she used on my teeth didn't work. I didn't see a noticeable difference, but my teeth did feel dry, sort of. I would not recommend it to a friend. At the time I wasn't upset because I'd gotten in at a cheap price. But a cheap price for no results isn't a very good deal!

Now I'm wondering, if she was testing it, why I would be charged at all - or why she wouldn't return my money when it clearly didn't work.

In the future, I'll be willing and happy to pay full price for something I know will work rather than risking something that hasn't been proven.
