Be aware that crowns and fillings do not whiten. If your teeth are naturally translucent, they may become more translucent, giving a gray or darker appearance, rather than a whiter appearance. Some types of staining can take long periods of time and may require that you consult your dentist for professional whitening options.

Can a child use Opalescence™ teeth whitening products? What are the age recommendations?
We recommend that these products not be used by children under 12 years of age. Safety first! As kids grow, their teeth and gums are still developing, and it's best to wait until they're older before starting any teeth whitening treatments.

Like with other dental or medical treatments, you may be wondering if teeth whitening during pregnancy, breastfeeding or IVF is safe.

We agree and recommend that pregnant or breast feeding women and women undergoing fertility treatment don't use teeth whitening products.
