Many young teens have actually contemplated getting their teeth whitened, most likely in an effort to affect a famous celeb or to look cool among their peers. So, how should fathers and mothers go about dealing with the topic of teeth whitening for their youngsters?

First of all, let’s examine some of the reasons for discolored teeth that frequently impact kids.

1. A youngster might suffer a dental injury in a mishap or sport

2. The tooth could end up being infected and get tarnished and discolored.

3. A kid who consumes water with high fluorine levels will likely deal with flourosis, a condition where the teeth will turn dark yellow or brown.

4. A youngster who is being treated with an antibiotic like tetracycline may suffer teeth discoloration.

As Mukilteo Dentist Dr. Onishi points out that when you think about the essential causes of teeth discoloration in youngsters compared to those in grownups, you recognize that the causes are not out of bad life style choices, but typically a medical factor.

Nevertheless, no matter how innocent the youngsters may be in this regard, teeth bleaching or whitening is not normally suggested for kids under the age of 16 for a number of good reasons:

A. Enlarged Nerves: In kids under the age of 16, the nerve complex of the tooth is enlarged so there is a greater than typical probability of severe tooth sensitivity from any teeth bleaching treatment. Level of sensitivity is a regular result of lightening treatment and is just worsened when the enlarged nerve endings are so vulnerable to irritation.

B. Primary and Permanent Teeth: Most kids under 16 have a mix of both primary and secondary or permanent teeth. These two sets of teeth have different tones of color because the density of the tooth enamel varies in each set. Therefore, if a bleaching treatment is used, the kid will certainly have 2 different tones of teeth. In addition, as the main teeth are still being replaced with permanent teeth, one cannot tell exactly what the general shade of white the youngster’s teeth will certainly be in the future. For these factors, it is best to wait till the child is over 16 years and has a full set of adult, permanent teeth.

Oral hygiene should be the primary focus for oral health of growing children and young adults .  It is important to teach children at an early age. Children also need guidance and care in dealing with peer pressure and urge to  rush into cosmetic treatments such as the teeth whitening which might be harmful to them.   An integral part of your children’s oral upkeep is finding a family/pediatric dentist you can trust. Mukilteo Dentist Dr. Onishi and the professionals at Harbour Place Dental, Mukilteo WA will go above and beyond when it comes to helping your children maintain optimal oral health.  Give them a call  at (425) 493-8111, or visit them or contact  them through their website  by email: harbourpldental@gmail.com
