And over the years, they are been proven quite safe. But, just how safe are they for your wallet?
Joan Vaal brushes her teeth regularly, but just can't get them as white as she likes.
So, she was intrigued by a teeth whitener called "Dazzle White Pro" also called "Dazzle Smile Pro" and its great reviews.
She tried a small "free" sample that she just had to pay $1.95 for shipping charges.
But, when Joan received her credit card bill, she got not one, but two charges for $58.76 each.
"I called them and they said I had just joined their club," Joan said.
She said she never read anything about a whitening club for $58 a month.
The Better Business Bureau gives Dazzle White Pro an F because of dozens of customers complaining they didn't get the sample.
They only received the extra charges.
After numerous attempts, I was only able to speak to a customer service representative. He said, "I'm sorry but people should read terms and conditions before placing order."
Yet another lesson to stay away from low cost trial periods or free samples when you have to give your credit card.
You'll likely be charged much more.
