Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
There are many reasons why teeth can become stained, ranging from your child’s diet to medications they may have taken in the past. If their smile has dental discoloration that won’t budge despite excellent oral hygiene or lack of results from those OTC white strips, they may be an excellent candidate for teeth whitening for teens in Garland. This safe, effective treatment is ideal for any teenager with intrinsic (internal) or extrinsic (external) enamel stains that may be preventing them from looking and feeling their most confident.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
At The Dental Specialists Pediatric Dentistry, we have two safe, effective treatment options to get your teen’s teeth sparkly white: custom take-home kits, or professional in-office whitening. Each treatment is designed to meet your child’s specific smile goals, which you can discuss with their dentist during their consultation.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening is an ideal option for teens who lead a busy life, and who aren’t in a major rush to brighten their smile. These custom kits include refillable trays that are personalized to your teen’s individual arches, and enough bleaching gel to remove up to eight shades of dental discoloration. Treatment takes around two weeks to see full results, and your reusable trays are yours to keep and refill as you wish.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
With in-office whitening, we can remove up to eight shades of stains and discoloration from your teen’s teeth in about one hour. This treatment is great for kids who need a brighter smile in anticipation of a special event such as senior photos, graduation, homecoming, or just as an added boost of confidence.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Once your teen’s teeth have been professionally brightened, they need to take extra good care of them to maintain their glow. Here are a few best practices you can encourage them to follow to ensure their results last as long as possible:
- Although teeth whitening is permanent, it is possible to re-stain them. If this occurs, you are welcome to return to The Dental Specialists Pediatric Dentistry for touchups or refills every six months or so.
- In the first two or three days after your initial treatment, be sure to encourage your teen to stick to a white diet to avoid depositing new stains or colors on their teeth while their enamel recovers.
- Avoid eating or drinking anything with dark pigment, such as coffee, chocolate, or other staining foods. Rule of thumb: if it leaves color behind on a white shirt, it will likely do the same to your teeth!
- Always maintain excellent oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day and flossing daily, and visiting your pediatric dentist at The Dental Specialists Pediatric Dentistry every six months for your regular dental exams and cleanings.
