The Excitement of a Better Smile Awaits With Teenage Dentistry

Overcoming the oral health hazards of being a teen is no easy task. Not only are teens confronted with their final set of adult teeth growing in, but there is a multitude of pressures and risks to one’s oral health that most teens will have to face daily. However, the excitement of a better smile awaits with teenage dentistry. The key to understanding teenage dentistry includes the following:

– Do not fall victim to bad habits that can ruin a smile, including smoking, drinking, and using drugs.

– Shelter your smile by visiting your dentist for regular checkups and bi-annual professional cleanings.

– Remove risks to your mouth such as mouth jewelry which can cause infections, crack or chip teeth, cut or slice your gums, or become choking hazards.

– Be sure to wear protective gear such as mouth guards, face masks, and helmets when playing contact sports or any other similar high-risk activity.

– Try to brush your teeth twice daily and floss at least once daily.
