Q: Are these methods safe for kids?
A: Most are, but avoid peroxide and activated charcoal for young children. Always supervise and consult with a pediatric dentist.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: It depends on the buildup and consistency. Some people notice a cleaner feel after just one use, but long-term tartar control requires regular oral care.
