March 05, 2021

The selection of tooth whitening gels and systems is now diverse. What came to Germany as a single product from the USA a few years ago is now available from various national manufacturers. From expensive to cheap, everything is there.

Unfortunately, there are also black sheep among the providers who sell inadequate whitening gels or make dubious offers. Read on to find out how you can recognize dubious shops and how you can protect yourself from being ripped off.

Reviews, imprint or gut feeling? Indicators for reputable providers

Whether a website is trustworthy can not always be seen at first glance. Indicators of a dubious website can be:

1. Missing or incomplete imprint: The address of the owner and other contact information must be found in the imprint of a website. If this information is missing, it is a clear warning signal - we advise against buying.
2. No encryption of the online shop: You can tell whether a website is encrypted by the small lock to the left of the Internet address in the browser. SSL encryption is standard. It protects sensitive data from third parties. If this encryption is missing, we recommend leaving the website.
3. suspicious information from consumer protection. If you are unsure, check whether the website appears on the “fake shop list” of consumer protection. If so, don't order.

If the imprint and encryption are correct and available, you can take a look at 2 further points to check the seriousness of an online shop:

• Look out for testimonials or ratings. To check the quality of teeth whitening gels online, reviews are a good tool.
• When buying products for cosmetic teeth whitening, it is important to pay attention to where you are based. If this is located in Asia, we call for caution. The right of withdrawal does not apply here and only the retailer's return policy applies.

With these tips you are armed when shopping online. If you're still looking for one good teeth whitening gel Made in Germany you can see for yourself in our OnlySmile Shop. We offer you simple, fast and painless teeth whitening at a fair price.
