      Tooth Pulp Is Fully Formed

    Correct Answer
    D. Tooth Pulp Is Fully Formed
    Explanation
    Teens should wait until the age of 14 to undergo teeth whitening treatment because by that age, the tooth pulp is fully formed. The tooth pulp is the innermost part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. If teeth whitening is done before the tooth pulp is fully formed, it can cause sensitivity and discomfort. Waiting until the age of 14 ensures that the teeth are mature enough to handle the whitening treatment without any adverse effects.
