Should My Teenager Still See a Pediatric Dentist?
While your teen might think they are all grown up, their smile says otherwise! Their mouth, face, and jaw are still rapidly growing, and our pediatric dentists are able to keep all these factors in mind when assessing your child, noticing small changes and being able to intervene at the right time.
Dental Services for Teens
With teens, the two big things we focus on are consistent hygiene (since we want them to have good habits ahead of eventually moving out) and keeping a close eye on orthodontic issues. Crooked teeth, gaps, and misaligned bites are best addressed around this age because a teen’s mouth is so responsive to treatment, meaning we can address and prevent many problems from occurring in the first place. Of course, we can also repair any broken or decayed teeth that pop up along the way with services such as:
- Athletic Mouthguards
- Orthodontic Screenings
- Root Canals
- Tooth Extractions
- Crowns
