Disclaimer

Last updated: [MONTH DAY, YEAR]

SmileMerit provides information to help you research and compare teeth-whitening providers. The information on this site is for general informational purposes only. Please read this Disclaimer before relying on anything you find here.

1. Not medical or dental advice

Nothing on SmileMerit is intended to be, and should not be taken as, medical, dental, or professional advice. Content on the site does not replace a consultation with a licensed dentist or healthcare professional. Always seek the advice of a qualified professional about any question regarding your oral health, a dental condition, or a treatment. Never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read here.

2. No endorsement of providers

Our directory lists providers for comparison purposes. A listing is not an endorsement, recommendation, referral, or guarantee of any provider, their qualifications, licensing, or the quality, safety, or outcome of their services. We do not vet, certify, or supervise providers. You are responsible for independently verifying a provider’s credentials, licensing, and suitability before booking or paying for any service.

3. No guarantee of accuracy or results

We do not guarantee that any information — including services, pricing ranges, availability, or contact details — is accurate, complete, or current. Whitening results, costs, and experiences vary from person to person and from provider to provider. We make no promise about the results you may achieve.

4. Affiliate and ownership disclosure

Ownership disclosure. SmileMerit is an independent directory and takes no payment from providers in exchange for placement or ranking. However, some at-home whitening products we mention or link to — including SayCheese — are our own brand. When you buy through those links, the affiliated business may earn revenue. We disclose this wherever those products appear so you can weigh our recommendations accordingly.

This disclosure is made in the spirit of transparency and in line with guidance from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding material connections between a publisher and the products it recommends.

5. External links

The site contains links to third-party websites operated by others, including provider websites and affiliated brands. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, services, or practices. Visiting them is at your own risk.

6. Assumption of risk

Any decision you make based on information from this site — including choosing a provider or a whitening method — is made at your own discretion and risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SmileMerit and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content.
