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.

(Linda) Yeah. (Jaz) That's hilarious. (Linda) Correct. But also, the General Dental Council were very clear in the direction. And they said, if this treatment of disease for under 18s, then it's appropriate to treat for whitening... Jaz' Introduction: Protruserati.
