A member asked:
Is it safe for my 16 year old daughter to bleach her teeth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Teen dental bleach: When teeth are younger, the area that houses the nerve is closeer to the surface. In-office bleaching may distrurb the nerves inside as the chemistry is strong. Home bleaching with trays(and a lesser strength bleach), whites strips and bleaching pens are more appropriate for the younger patient(age 14+).

It is safe: It is safe for your daughter to lighten her teeth. Many teens use white strips and do well with them.
