You may think you’ve got a good understanding of cosmetic care until you start wondering about age. Are you possibly too old for this type of care? Or, does your young teenager who keeps asking about teeth whitening need to wait several more years before qualifying? To help you feel like you know what’s what on this topic, we’d like to begin with the basics.
Am I Too Old?
We understand that you may associate age with the decline of your oral health and, as a result, may assume you can become too old for cosmetic care. This is not quite right. Let us help you gain clarity regarding how this works and why there is no upper age limit for making your smile look wonderful. First, remember that oral health does not decline simply due to your age. Instead, it declines if you do not care for your smile. When you are serious about care at home as well as the professional treatments we suggest, your smile can truly always be healthy. Assuming you keep it healthy, you will always be a candidate for the cosmetic treatments that interest you.
Is My Child Too Young?
It’s very possible that your child is too young. Since we know that your “child” may be 8 years of age or 22, let’s spell it out this way: Making cosmetic care improvements to a smile is often something that we reserve for teeth and gums that have finished growing. We will need you to schedule a checkup for your child, so we may make the determination based on the unique particulars of each patient. (Note: If your son or daughter is at least 18 years of age, then age is likely not an obstacle).
