For those in the Burlington, ON area looking for a dentist with great success in revitalizing smiles, you should visit Dr. Thelam Nguyen and the team at Tansley Woods Dentistry.

No matter your age, your smile is important to you. In the world of teens, where the social landscape can be savage, if one loses confidence in their smile, it can affect their social life. But are professional whitening treatments safe for teens? As a parent, you desire the best for your teen, but you also want to make sure all procedures are safe. The good news is that teeth whitening treatments provided by your dentist are perfectly safe for teens.

Teeth Whitening Treatments for Teens

Many dentists offer both in-office whitening treatments, which utilize powerful whitening agents for immediate results and take-home kits, which use custom-made bleaching trays. Depending on your teen’s needs, your dentist will recommend the best path forward for teeth whitening. Many dentists will want to try take-home trays first as the chemicals used are not as strong, and many teens do not need a dramatic change. Even still, you will want to follow the instructions of your teen’s dentist to the letter. Without taking appropriate precautions, whitening agents can aggravate sensitive teeth and gums.
