I just want to know how old do you have to be for the teeth whitening, where they put on the cream/gel then put on a mouth guard so your lips won't be irritated from the light etc...
--------------------
It depends on the dentist but usually not until you are older. Because getting them done professionally is very strong stuff. And especially if you still have baby teeth. But you can simply call and ask your dentist or a few different offices and ask when they do it. But I know definitely not if you haven't gotten all your teeth. And the way they do it is make a mold of your mouth and from that they make trays so it fits your mouth perfect. They put "the stuff" in the trays and you sit there for a while. Then after, you sit with fluoride for a while because the whitening opens pores in your teeth and the fluoride closes the pores which is what you want. So that's the process but I'd really call and ask your office and see. For now (if it's too early) Try whitening toothpastes - make sure it has baking soda in it! This is what truly whitens your teeth!! And what was recommended to me by my dentist is Listerine Whitening pre-rinse. They've had a lot of success with that. So make sure you are brushing 2x a day and use the whitening paste and then maybe something like Crest pro health (one in morning and one at night) because you don't want to be trying to bleach/whiten all the time, not very good for your teeth. So see if you can get them done. If not then try the rinse and then brushing with 2x a day; using one paste in the morning and the other at night (you can use the rinse both times) Good luck <3
