As adults, we often wish our teeth could be as white as they were when we were small children. Baby teeth have thinner and whiter enamel than adult teeth, and those brilliant smiles are a result! But occasionally, you may be surprised to discover some staining or discoloration on those lovely first teeth. You might be tempted to apply a whitening product to your child\u2019s teeth, but, please\u2014read on!<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Causes of Staining<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have noticed any staining on your child\u2019s primary teeth, call our Braintree, Massachusetts office. Simple stains can often be removed with better brushing techniques, and we can clean other surface stains in the office. Staining caused by an injury or a health condition is something we can discuss in detail with you. We can even use some professional whitening methods if those are indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why not just buy a home whitening kit for your child? There are several important reasons to leave these products on the shelf while your child is young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are concerned about the brightness of your child\u2019s smile, please talk to the doctor. We can recommend better ways to brush at home, clean your child\u2019s teeth in the office, or suggest professional methods of whitening if there are physical or psychological reasons that it would be valuable. But while your child is young, those off-the-shelf whitening products can wait a few more years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As adults, we often wish our teeth could be as white as they were when we were small children.
