Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 10, 2006, Dr. Julian Feneley, President of BriteSmile, Inc. (the “Company”), filed a Declaration (the “Declaration”) in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, in connection with litigation proceedings between Gregg Coccari and the Company.  In the Declaration, Mr. Feneley made certain statements regarding the Company’s current financial condition and projections of the Company’s future financial performance.  These statements include the fact that (i) the Company has on hand approximately $13.1 million in cash to fund its ongoing operations, of which approximately $8.0 million is restricted, (ii) at the beginning of April 2006, the Company reduced the price of its whitening procedure from $600 to $399 and (iii) as a result of this price reduction, the Company has approximately doubled its weekly volume of paid procedures and increased average weekly revenues in the Center business by about 60 percent.

The Declaration also included a 2006 quarterly forecast containing preliminary operating EBITDA estimate for the first quarter of 2006, excluding stock option expense and unusual costs and gains associated with the sale of the Associated Center business, and a forecast of EBITDA for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2006 and the 2006 fiscal year.  A summary of this 2006 quarterly forecast is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this report (including the exhibit) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth in such filing.  This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
