-I don't believe there is any age limit to getting your teeth whitened. If you're under eighteen, you'll probably need your parents signature, and you're good to go. Certain dental clinics may have you be a specific age. -The cost depends on the method. From a chart I looked up, gels and trays would cost about £286 and would take about 50 hours to get your teeth 4-5 shades lighter. You can wear the trays at home. You could also do the laser procedure, which would cost £715. This procedure would take 2-3 hours, and your teeth would become 7-8 shades lighter. The BriteSmile procedure, which is a special light with whitening gel, takes 2 hours and your teeth become 8 or more shades whiter. The cost would be about £430. Note that I transferred US dollar prices into euros. Cost may be more or less, depending on the country you live in, though they shouldn't differ dramatically. -Teeth whitening is not permanent. It usually lasts anywhere from 4 months (Trays) to two years (Laser treatment). Your personal habits will effect how long the whitening lasts, such as how often you brush, floss, what you eat, etc. If you get it done, your dentist should provide you with information on taking care of your teeth after they are whitened. -I don't think much can go wrong. You probably will have slight discomfort and sensitive teeth after the procedure is finished. There is a chance that bleaching your teeth won't be 100% effective, in which case you won't be happy with the results. Don't worry, I don't think your mouth will explode. -As mentioned before, teeth are whitened with lasers and trays. No injections or needles required. (It usually is required for cavities, though. Don't eat too much candy) -Veneers is a more complicated procedure, used for teeth that are chipped, discolored, crooked, or spaced. They change the way your teeth look, kind of like invisalign. I think it's a porcelain film that covers your natural teeth. It's probably unnecessary in your case. http://dentistry.about.com/od/prevention… -Teeth whitening is probably safe, for the most part. As long as you don't go in every month for whitening, like some celebrities, you'll be fine.
