Protrusive Dental Podcast Finally, Some Clarity on Teeth Whitening for Under-18s with Linda Greenwall – PDP096
If you refuse to whiten under-18s without any exceptions (perhaps because you are blindly following shameful legislation) – then you may be denying children their human right to health. Sorry if that stings – it’s the truth. The impact that white and brown spots on teeth can have on teenagers can be very negative for their mental health. I hope that in this episode with Dr Linda Greenwall you will find answers and gain confidence in treating patients who are in dire need of teeth whitening for health reasons.
