does mass health cover tooth whitening at the sunshine dental care?
--------------------
No dental insurance company will cover whitening because it is considered cosmetic. As long as the over the counter kits have been approved by the ADA, they will work. They are much cheaper than having the dentist do it. The only downfall is that it takes longer because the bleach is not as concentrated. I know Crest White Strips have been approved by the ADA, and they're about $250 less than having them whitened in an office.
