Am I right not to go ahead with laser whitening?

I impulsively purchased an internet deal to get my teeth laser-whitened for €50. Turns out the business doesn't even have a website, and making the booking involved a pleasant teenager answering the phone and calling her mother over. This has not inspired me with much confidence and I decided yesterday that I'm not going ahead with it on the grounds that their setup doesn't appear to be professional to me. Don't care about losing the cash if the T&C'S don't allow a refund. I'm well aware of caveat emptor etc.

Just wondering if I am being rational or irrational here?

Go to a Dentist and get a proper professional job done.

I believe I am not a fool but I take your point. What's the story with regulation (sorry lack of) on all these whitening salons or whatever they are?

Go with your gut on this one....

Sounds like your making the correct decision to me, 50 euro is way too cheap and will involve neither a properly qualified operator nor quality bleaching material. Remember that on a groupon the provider is getting 50% so they are working for 25 euro, to be able to even buy quality bleach and make a reasonable profit is impossible.

There is only one laser that I know of that can activate bleach and it costs €20000. So it's definitely not laser whitening, all the systems that claim "laser" are definitely not. False advertising.

I got my teeth laser-whitened in my dentist back in March and it cost me €400, €50 seems far too cheap to be legit.

Not laser whitened. Blue light bleached.
