I finally found one that sounded good. It was for a month trial of whitening and all I had to do was pay shipping and handling. The cost for shipping was posted on the website as $9.99. I thought that was pretty expensive but compared to free whitening I thought it was nothing. Within the last 2 months, I\u2019ve received 3 charges for shipping and handling, but I still don\u2019t have the whitening kit. My credit card company is investigating it now. I just want to know where I can get legitimate, free teeth whitening trials. Do you have any recommendations? Todd<\/p>\n<p>Todd\u00a0&#8211; We\u2019re sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, it is common. There are some risks that come with getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/teeth-whitening\/\">free teeth whitening online<\/a>. What should you consider?<\/p>\n<h2>Beware of Getting Free Teeth Whitening Online<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Source<\/strong> \u2013 On the website, instead of a business address, there is usually\u00a0only a toll-free number or a contact form if you need to speak with someone at the company. The website probably doesn\u2019t tell you the source of the whitening. If you call the company, you are unlikely to find out exactly where the whitening kit was made.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contents<\/strong> \u2013 How do you know if the syringes really contain bleaching gel? Some consumers have found out that the contents were either ineffective or harmful to their teeth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2013 If what you receive isn\u2019t bleaching gel, either it won\u2019t work, it can harm or discolor your teeth, or it can burn your teeth, gums, or other oral tissue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your dentist doesn\u2019t offer free teeth whitening, ask for a payment plan to make it more affordable for you. It\u2019s best to receive quality bleaching gel, along with supervision from your dentist. You\u2019ll get predictable results that will last.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\">Lowell cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every now and then I search for deals on teeth whitening.
