Pediatric Dental Whitening: Ideal for treating discoloration due to trauma or diet, this procedure is suitable for patients with all permanent teeth and excellent oral hygiene. Consult your dentist to explore if your child qualifies for at-home whitening.
Absolutely! When it comes to your child’s dental care, safety is paramount. Teeth whitening can be considered for children aged 14 and above, with all permanent teeth fully developed and any orthodontic treatments completed. These criteria help ensure safety and effectiveness, promoting optimal results without risks.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends avoiding teeth whitening for children until all baby teeth have fallen out and permanent teeth have fully emerged, usually around age 14. By this age, permanent teeth are typically strong enough to withstand whitening agents. Whitening before age 14 may lead to sensitivity or discomfort.
Opt for professional teeth whitening for your child’s brightest smile! Unlike at-home products, professional treatment offers superior and longer-lasting results, with expert guidance for sensitive teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends professional whitening over over-the-counter options due to safety concerns and limited studies. Trust us for a lasting, radiant smile!
