What's a reccommended age for teeth whitening?


Question:
What is a safe, ok age to get my teeth whitened??

Answers:
If you mean professionally whitened, then I'd say over 18. However, if you mean at-home whitening methods (i.e. crest whitestrips, etc.) then 13 and above. (high school basically)
almost all directions on a home whitening kit is going to say age 18. you can call your local dentist and ask him if he thinks your old enough and what brand he thinks is best. I started to whitten my teeth in 7th grade but the box said age 18.
there's no age requirement. but I don't think dentist allows anyone under the age of 14 to get teeth whitening such as laser whitening et al.

If your too young, you can try the Crest Whitestrips. They are inexpensive comparing to the dentist pay and they seem to be very effective.
To have them professionally whitened we prefer they be adults with fully erupted teeth, usually over the age of 18.
i think any age is great well like starting at 10
