Tooth whitening offers

[Kristina 01]

Hi

I would like to know if your tooth whitening offers are available to those aged under 16. I am fifteen years old and hate the colour of my teeth and would like to make my teeth more white.

Of all your tooth whitening offers, I am most interested in your zoom tooth whitening, Would I be able to take up that offer?

Hello Kristina

Thanks for your post.

Teeth whitening should not be carried out under the age of 18. Sadly you are too young to have any type of teeth whitening Kristina. At the age of 18 you can try the home teeth whitening however there are increased risk of temporary sensitivity and even devitalisation. Devitalisation is when the nerve supply to the tooth is damaged irreversibly.

I would strongly advise you to wait now and try the whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes to improve the whiteness of your teeth. You can also look at your diet and if it is high in highly coloured foods and drinks, this is an area which can be modified to prevent this from getting worse.

If this does not help then by all means come and see us for a free teeth whitening consultation.
