Can a Child Get Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening for children is a cosmetic dental procedure performed by pediatric dentists to restore bright dazzling smiles. The products and techniques used for teeth whitening for kids differ from the ones used for adults. Since kids consume a lot of sugary foods and sweet drinks, tooth decay and discoloration are common problems.


At Tiny Smiles Pediatric Dentistry — in Woodbridge, New Jersey, the Lower East Side of Manhattan or Harlem, NY — your kid’s dentist performs an extensive dental examination. These kid-friendly, board certified dentists use the latest dental equipment to ensure the safety and comfort of your child. After an evaluation, your dentist may recommend teeth whitening if your child is a good candidate for the procedure.


What Causes Teeth Discoloration in Children?

While discoloration of teeth is more often an adult issue, children may benefit from teeth whitening for a variety of reasons, including:

Inadequate brushing leads to plaque build-up on the tooth enamel.

At your NYC or NJ dentist’s office, the pediatric dentist examines your child’s discolored teeth to determine the underlying issue. Your dentist may then recommend teeth whitening for your child.

Ask your dentist if whitening your child’s teeth is safe. The dentists at Tiny Smiles Pediatric Dentistry recommend the procedure based on individual desires.

What Are the Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening?

A variety of kids’ teeth whitening products have emerged in the market. Most contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide bleaching agents in different concentrations. For the best teeth whitening for kids, use a trained dentist for benefits that include:

  • A tailored procedure. Every child gets a personalized treatment after your dentist’s assessment.

  • Safety first. Your dentist assesses your child’s teeth to determine the suitability of the procedure and proceeds only if it’s safe for your child.

  • A comprehensive dental check-up. During the procedure, the dentist probes your child’s teeth for plaque and tartar build-up, gum disease, failing restorations, misaligned or crooked teeth and signs of teeth grinding.

  • A controlled procedure. Unlike over-the-counter products, your dentist offers a controlled tooth whitening procedure, supervised to reduce the risk of damage to your child’s teeth.

  • Greater effectiveness. A pediatric dentist uses specialized tools, such as custom-fitted trays, for longer-term results. The treatment also deals with both surface and deep teeth stains.

At one of their state-of-the-art dental facilities in New Jersey and Manhattan, your pediatric dentist emphasizes the safety of your child’s oral health. Your kid gets better results when you rely on trained professionals.
