My dentist recommended them to me when I was eleven almost twelve I have yet to use them because they are fairly pricey. This may not be for everyone but I don't have any thing that would make me any different from other kids. Check with your dentist first. Usually a quick call does the trick. Hope I helped.

Legally, you can use whitening strips at any age. However, young people, below the age of 20 or so frequently experience a severe increase in tooth sensitivity when using whitening strips. This is because the pulp chambers within their teeth are relatively large. The pulp chambers get smaller with age and the sensitivity is less of an issue.

Most dentist recommend whitening strips, and any other tooth whitening treatment, for adults only.

I recommend not using them at all. Whitening strips usually wear down the enamel on your teeth. Try a whitening toothpaste instead.

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.
