Brighter Smiles with Opalescence® Go™ Whitening Trays

At Sunny Day Pediatric Dentistry, we’re here to help your child smile confidently for a lifetime.

We bring you the magic of Opalescence® bleaching trays designed to give smiles an extra boost of brilliance! Opalescence® teeth whitening for kids is a safe, effective and gentle solution for a brighter smile.

What is the minimum age for teeth whitening?

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), it’s best to wait until age 14 or 15 to begin teeth whitening for kids. This is the age when most permanent teeth are developed.

How Opalescence Trays Work

Opalescence® is an at-home whitening treatment that uses professional-grade bleaching gel with prefilled disposable trays that fit snugly on your child’s teeth.

Here’s how it works: Your child simply inserts the trays in their mouth, then removes them after the recommended time!

  1. Position the upper tray on your teeth.
  2. Bite firmly into the tray, then suck on the tray for 2 seconds to secure it.
  3. Remove the colored outer tray, leaving the white inner tray in place.
  4. Repeat the process for the lower tray.
  5. After the indicated wear time, remove the whitening trays and brush your teeth!

These whitening trays come in different grades – 10% hydrogen peroxide gel and 15% hydrogen peroxide gel.

  • With 10% gel, leave the trays in for 30-60 mins.
  • With 15% gel, leave the trays in for 15-20 mins.

This process ensures consistent and impressive results without compromising the integrity of the teeth.

Benefits of Safe Teeth Whitening for Kids

Gentle and Safe: Opalescence® bleaching gel is specially crafted with your child’s comfort in mind. It’s gentle on teeth and free from harmful chemicals! The gel is designed to minimize sensitivity and enhance your little one’s oral health by strengthening tooth enamel, reducing tooth sensitivity, and boosting cavity protection – while delivering beautiful and bright results.

Professional-Grade: Opalescence® bleaching gel is formulated with a prescription-strength solution, offering a level of whitening that surpasses over-the-counter alternatives. The gel is available in various strengths, and Dr. Day will help you determine the right strength for your little one’s teeth.

Effortless: No complicated rituals or tricky potions! Your child simply wears the trays for the recommended amount of time.

Quick: The trays are ready to use right out of the box! Depending on the level of hydrogen peroxide Dr. Day recommends, your child will only need to wear the tray between 15 – 60 minutes per day.

Doctor-Monitored: Dr. Day will oversee your child’s progress each time you visit us. We’re here to guide you and your child through their journey to ensure a safe process and optimal results, without compromising oral health.

Effective: Your little one’s smile will be noticeably brighter in no time! Opalescence whitening gels are powerful enough to yield results in as little as a single night’s use. However, individual outcomes may vary, and it might take up to a week to observe noticeable transformations.
