The Importance of Good Dental Health for Teens
Why is prevention the key to healthy teeth?
Teenage years are often when oral health problems, such as cavities and gum disease, may start to occur due to genetic influence, dietary changes, busy schedules, and sometimes, neglect of oral hygiene.
Preventing problems before they start is easy and FREE for life. The instant a clinician has to remove a cavity we can only replace it with something that will never be as strong our beneficial as our own tooth. Although fillings are “permanent” that may only last 10-15 years.
Free regular visits to a dentist for teens can help prevent these issues, keeping their teeth and gums healthy and strong while providing them with tips and tricks on hoe to manage outside of visits
As we’re a dentist for teens we also focuss on providing preventative treatments such as fissure protections/seals and fluroide treatments to ensure your teens teeth stay stronger for longer.
Does my teenager need braces?
The teenage years are a common time for orthodontic treatments such as braces or clear aligners. Regular visits to a dentist for teenagers in Hamilton can ensure that any potential alignment or bite issues are identified and addressed in a timely manner.
I can’t get my teen to clean their teeth what can I do?
Teenage years are a great time to establish good oral hygiene habits that can last a lifetime. Unfortunately it’s also filled with hormones, busy social lives and overwhelm. We believe in educating our teenage patients about the importance of regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, creating a foundation for lifelong dental health. As teenagers they know what’s good for them but we attempt to approach them in a way that is easy to understand and not too much information so they can make the changes to healthy habits at their own pace, one tooth at a time!
