Question: My son is 17 and has decalified teeth. The areas aren’t very soft but my dentist suggested teeth whitening with zoom. I need another opinion as I’m pretty concern before I spend this money.
Answer: When we have a young patient, like your son, we recommend tray bleaching alone or in combination with chair side bleaching. In our opinion there are several advantages to this. First, you can continue to bleach at home with the trays and touch up the bleaching from time to time. Older teen’s teeth bleach better than someone in their 40’s as a general rule and tray bleaching works the best.
I hope that this helps you out. We would be more than happy to see your son to discuss this subject further.
