Teeth whitener?


Question:
Is it normal for a teenage boy to use white strips. And if it is what product works the best?

Answers:
Tooth whitening is not generally recommended for kids/teens. The reason for this is that the pulp chambers (the place where the living nerve of the teeth are) are very large and therefore the teeth can become very sensitive. Usually I recommend that you wait until your later teen years. A whitening toothpaste will help keep stains away but the best choice is to go for regular dental cleanings and stay away from dark drinks like cola, tea, coffee etc. If you are going to do it I would recommend using the strips every other day right after a dental cleaning. If the teeth have buildup (stain, tartar) on them the strips won't work that well.
Hope that helps!

Crest white strips are pretty good but if you want to get a better result you should go see your dentist and have them make you some whitening trays. I did this and my teeth look great. When you use any whitening solution it can make your teeth sensitive to cold things. You should use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth for about 2 weeks before you use the solution and then continue to use it while you are using the solution. This will help your teeth to not be as sensitive as they would be. Good luck with whatever product you use.
I don't see why not, my dentist always recommended Colgate White Strips but only for one week out of the month. I also use an electric tooth brush those always get your teeth cleaner and whitter
