As stated by Racounter, 67 % of American adults have tried to whiten their teeth in one way or another-either through dentists and professional whitening techniques or with the help of toothpaste and strips. At-home whitening gels have around a 3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide which is approved by the FDA. Teeth whitening is the most popular dental procedure in the U.S., accounting for 32% of in-office practice and this is because 99.7% of people in the country perceive a smile as their most important social asset.

Forbes article of 2019 states that 5% of the influencers who offer product or service recommendations drive 45% of social influence, this will further strengthen the teeth whitening market.

However, dental services were one of the worst affected at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dental practices across the world were halted. With no patient visits and declining revenues, several dental surgeons had to undergo unforeseen challenges. However, telemedicine became a boon for both dental surgeons and patients. An estimated 70% of all dental patients in the U.S. have private dental insurance. With high unemployment levels projected in the coming months, there is a major risk that demand for dental care could stagnate due to economic factors. With the ease of lockdowns in most countries, dental services are also reopening, however, following strict protocols has added to the expenses for several cosmetic dentists.
