HOW old do you have to be 2 get your teeth whitened?!?
--------------------
Tooth whitening is not generally recommended for kids/teens. The reason for this is that the pulp chambers (the place where the living nerve of the teeth are) are very large and therefore the teeth can become very sensitive. Usually I recommend that you wait until your later teen years. A whitening toothpaste will help keep stains away but the best choice is to go for regular dental cleanings and stay away from dark drinks like cola, tea, coffee etc. If you are going to do it I would recommend using the strips every other day right after a dental cleaning. If the teeth have buildup (stain, tartar) on them the strips won't work that well. Hope that helps! JAMRDH - a dental hygienist
