Frequently Asked Questions

Is teeth whitening safe for kids?
Yes, when done under professional guidance. We use whitening agents specifically formulated for pediatric use and only recommend treatment when it is safe and appropriate for your child’s age and oral health.

What age is best for whitening treatments?
We generally evaluate candidacy around age 10–12 or when most permanent teeth have come in. Every child’s case is unique, and we tailor our recommendations accordingly.

Can whitening damage enamel?
Not with our approach. We avoid harsh chemicals and overexposure by carefully monitoring application and limiting the frequency of treatments.

How long do the results last?
With good oral hygiene and dietary habits, results can last several months to a year. Whitening may be repeated periodically if needed, depending on the cause of the original staining.

Will my child need sedation?
No. Whitening is a non-invasive, painless procedure. However, for children with anxiety or special care needs, we offer optional sedation dentistry to ensure a comfortable experience.
