TEETH WHITENING
TEETH WHITENING
Smile Street Pediatric Dentistry offers Teeth Whitening options.
Knowing the differences between your oral care and your child’s oral care is important in tooth and gum health. A pediatric dentist has three years of specialized training in handling children, so their specialty is providing excellent care for your children from infancy through adolescence. One of the most common chronic health conditions in children and adolescents in America is tooth decay. Here at Pediatric Dentist Culver City, we believe in taking preventive steps for long-term results. One of the preventative steps we believe in taking is pediatric teeth whitening. However, there are some concerns. Many adolescents and parents do not understand the risks if professionals do not administer the chemicals. There is nothing wrong with choosing to whiten your child’s set of teeth. However, choosing the right way to go about it can help prevent gum and teeth issues as they age. Misusing these strong chemicals can cause harm to gum tissues and tooth nerves and bother any filled teeth. These issues can be eliminated by having a professional pediatric dentist administer a teeth whitening procedure.
TEETH WHITENING CULVER CITY
A pediatric dentist does all the same things your family dentist would do; however, these procedures are adapted to suit smaller mouths and much more sensitive gums. Pediatric dentists are trained in helping, assisting, and treating children with special needs from infancy into adolescence. Your child’s dentist can make recommendations to improve or maintain you’re their oral health based on your medical history, health needs, activity level, and dental needs. Even though your family dentist is more than capable of helping your child, they will not be equipped to understand their needs truly. The entire staff in a pediatric office is trained to service your child in any way they can, including how they interact with your child, which is so important. Your child should enjoy the dentist, and we ensure they do.

YOUR FIRST VISIT
What happens the first time you come in with your child? This visit is genuinely about making your child comfortable while also getting all the information necessary to treat them. Sometimes you can be asked to sit with your child in the exam chair to help it seem less threatening, and other times you may sit in the waiting room. Either one is possible.
Administering teeth whitening can be discussed with your pediatric dentist during your appointment. During this exam, the dentist will check your child’s teeth for decay, check their bite, and take some x-rays to look for potential problems. For older children, each case will be evaluated individually, and further discussion on preventive care and fixing issues will be discussed.
RECALL VISITS
Bringing your child in to meet their dentist should be done as soon as their first tooth appears but by their first birthday. Having them come in, even if they haven’t shown signs of teething by one year, is simply a precaution to ensure there aren’t any indicators of preventable issues. A checkup is recommended every six months; however, each situation is different, and your dentist will surely give you the next date. Your child’s baby teeth are very important and should be cared for, as they will pave the way for their adult teeth.
CHILDREN’S DENTIST IN LA
A pediatric dentist will have practical advice and insight into your child's long-term tooth and gum health. A dentist specializing in treating children will know how to discuss oral tendencies like thumb sucking and preventive measures to ensure no damage to the adult teeth. A pediatric dentist can help you, and your child determine a cause or reason as to why their teeth are not as white as they should be: undiagnosed injury, vitamin deficiency, stains, trauma, decay, etc. Consulting a professional as to when and how your child's teeth should be whitened is highly encouraged, and each situation should be inspected individually.
