What to expect from the pediatric teeth whitening procedure
The teeth whitening procedure is simple and stress free. Open Sesame Dentistry’s teeth whitening treatment for children has been carefully designed to be safe and effective. This is a breakdown of what happens in the teeth whitening process.
1. Initial Consultation:
Initial consultation is the first step in teeth whitening. Our pediatric dentist will examine your child’s gums and teeth to determine if they are healthy enough for whitening. We will review your child’s oral hygiene, dental history and any previous treatments.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Our dentist will then create a treatment plan that is tailored to the specific needs of your child based on an initial assessment. This plan considers the level of discoloration as well as the best whitening method for kids.
3. Treatment Preperation
Your child’s teeth are professionally cleaned before the whitening process begins to remove any tartar or plaque buildup. The whitening agent will work better if the teeth are cleaned. We will also protect the gums and soft tissues of your child to avoid irritation during treatment.
4. Whitening Application
This process involves applying a kid-friendly, safe whitening gel on your child’s tooth. The gel is gentler on teeth because it contains less bleaching agent than those for adults. The gel can be activated with a special lamp or left on its own, depending on the method selected.
5. Monitoring + Final Steps
Our dental team will ensure that your child is comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire procedure. The whole process usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. The whitening gel is removed once the desired whiteness has been achieved. Your child’s mouth is then thoroughly rinsed.
6. Post-Procedure Care
Our dentist will give you and your child post-procedure instructions after the whitening procedure. It may be necessary to avoid certain foods and beverages that cause staining, and maintain results by maintaining a strict oral hygiene regimen. You may be recommended to come back for follow-up appointments in order to monitor the dental health of your child and the durability of the whitening effect.

How to Tell if My Kid Needs Teeth Whitening?
Determining whether your child needs teeth whitening involves observing their teeth for signs of discoloration and consulting with a pediatric dentist. Here are some indicators and steps to help you decide if teeth whitening might be beneficial for your child
You may need to whiten your child’s teeth if you notice these signs:
Yellow / Brown Stains
It could be a sign that teeth whitening is necessary if your child has yellow or brown stains on their teeth. The stains may be caused by a number of factors including poor oral hygiene or certain medications.
Dull / Discolored Teeth
The teeth of children should be naturally white and bright. If your child has discolored or dull teeth compared to other children, whitening may be necessary to improve their smile.
Food & Drinks Staining
Teeth discoloration can be caused by the consumption of foods and beverages that stain, like berries, sports drinks and soda. Teeth whitening may be an option if these stains cannot be removed by regular brushing.
Poor Oral Hygiene
Teeth whitening is a great way to restore your child’s natural tooth color if they have had poor oral hygiene, which led to the buildup of plaque and tartar.
