DENTISTRY FOR TEENS
Setting Teens Up to Maintain Healthy Smiles into Adulthood
Between homework, sports, social gatherings, and school, teenagers often have little time to do anything else. Unfortunately, their oral hygiene can be pushed aside if they sleep through their alarm and rush off to school or stay up late studying for a big test the next day. While it may become increasingly difficult to get them to take proper care of their smile, our dentists can make sure their oral health stays on the right track and is set up for future success. With close monitoring and careful instructions, we will give your teenager the tools they need to prioritize their oral health. Give our office a call to set up their appointment today.

Should My Teenager Still See a Children’s Dentist?
Yes, your teenager should continue to see a children’s dentist until they reach adulthood. Although they may be apprehensive about the idea, the truth is that their face and jaw are still developing. Without regular examinations and close monitoring, dental issues can form that make eating, breathing, and speaking more challenging. Children’s dentists are specifically trained to prevent and address problems associated with oral development, helping your teen transition into adulthood with a healthy smile.

As teenagers navigate daily life, there are certain components they need to incorporate, such as regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing. Also, being mindful of their diet and lifestyle habits can have a positive effect on their oral health.
