How old do you need to be to get your teeth bleached?

My dentist won't bleach my teeth until i'm 18 or something like that. I really need to have my teeth whitened i'm 15. Help

Hi..you have nice teeth, and yes making them a bit brighter would be good, until you turn 18 why not try the Crest whitening strips? they work pretty well, you just have to be patient. You really are very good looking and have a nice smile! Have some nice head shots taken.. you would photograph very well. Check this website out...you would look stunning with similar poses! http://www.digitalheadshotsnyc.com/
