Is it ok for a nine year old to use whitening strips?
Anyone can use it, as long as they have their adult teeth grown out. However, using whitening strips can cause sensitivity to the teeth, and sometimes to the gums as well. It can also create gum irritation. As long as you're aware and fine with some of the side effects that might occur, you should be able to put it on. However, you should go to a dentist first, and see what she/he tells you. There may be a specific whitening strip for your type of teeth, or they can tell you precisely whether or not it's good for your teeth to put whitening strips. In addition, there are other ways to whiten teeth. Fruits, such as starfruit can help in whitening teeth, brushing your teeth everyday, and I also heard that putting baking soda with your toothpaste works as well. On the other hand, again, for precise ways to whiten your teeth the fastest and safely, it's recommended to ask your dentist first.

In addition to its whitening properties, peroxide oxygenates which kills anaerobic bacteria. You'll end up with whiter teeth, healthier gums and fresher breath.
