Is your smartphone basically a photo album of your little one? As new parents, we want to capture every second, every little development. After all, we live in a selfie world. So, it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that teeth whitening procedures have skyrocketed over the past few years. Now, while most of those who undergo such cosmetic procedures are adults, there is an increasing number of parents showing interest in having their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawadentistryonkent.com\/children.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">children\u2019s teeth<\/a> whitened. This then begs the question, is it safe to do so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before making such a decision, parents should know that permanent teeth will usually seem yellower than baby teeth. And this happens because <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mouthhealthy.org\/en\/az-topics\/e\/eruption-charts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">baby teeth<\/a> are smaller, whiter and brighter. Although, a bit yellower in tint, permanent teeth are not stained or unhealthy, but rather, they\u2019re just naturally that way. So, if your child becomes conscious about the \u201cyellowing\u201d of their teeth soon after all their permanent set of teeth erupts, you\u2019ll want to assure them that this is perfectly normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing to do as a parent is to instill good dental hygiene habits and take him or her to the dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleaning. If you want some extra insurance, limit your child\u2019s intake of stain-causing food items and beverages, such as soda and sugary drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in having your child\u2019s teeth whitening, or just made to look better, be sure to contact your child\u2019s dentist and ask for a consultation first. They\u2019ll be glad to give you an honest answer that will help you make the best decision for the well-being of your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information about teeth whitening, call Dr. Pliev in Ottawa, ON at 613-235-5348 or visit<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawadentistryonkent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.ottawadentistryonkent.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Konstantin Pliev proudly serve patients from Ottawa and all surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a new parent?
