摘要

"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight," said Phyllis Diller, a comedian. But a dazzling one can set you back a lot of money, and dentists in North Carolina want to keep it that way. Just over a decade ago the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners (ncbde) noticed that many people were getting their teeth whitened at spas or kiosks in shopping malls. The procedure typically involves placing disposable strips impregnated with a whitening agent on a client's teeth. The strips are deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration and regulated as cosmetics. Salons charge as little as a tenth as much for this service as a dentist would. So in 2003 the ncbde sent at least 47 cease-and-desist letters to teeth-whitening outfits, accusing them of practising dentistry without a licence and driving them out of business.
