Answers:
The chemicals that do the whitening can interfere with the bonding of the composite (glue that will keeps the brackets on the teeth) to the the tooth, so at least have your daugher stop using the whitening toothpaste 2 weeks before she gets her braces on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be careful because brushing your teeth with baking soda more than once a week can cause serious damage to your teeth enamel!. You might want to use whitestrips or an actual teeth whitening treatment instead!. I found some free trials that I posted on my blog that work great!. You can see how much of a difference they made on my teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't matter what toothpaste she uses when she gets the braces on!. Once the braces come off her teeth will get polished up anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The toothpaste doesn't seem a major problem but its best to ask your dentist to make sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
