bleaching childrens teeth

Tweet

I am a new mom and was wondering what the general consensus about bleaching small childrens teeth. I don't think I would want that potent of chemicals in my son's mouth unless it was absolutely necessary. I may seem naive but I don't think it would be that hard to keep my son's teeth from rotting, with a little preventative care. I wonder if some children's teeth are more prone to rotting than others? I found myself dwelling on this subject after watching the news where they were reporting that Britney had taken one of her son's to the dentist to get his teeth bleached because they were rotting. I don't want to jump to conclusions, like I said I am a new mom (not an expert)but it seemed really negligent of her to let her son's teeth rot.
