Teenagers
- Independence comes with responsibility, and includes caring for your teeth.
- This can be a challenging time for teeth when frequent snacking and exposure to wider range of drinks ( ice tea, energy drinks) increase risk of developing caries or other issues.
- Hormonal changes can also affect your gums.
- Protect your teeth with a custom mouthguard if you are playing sport where there is a risk of contact.
- Dental injuries can result in time off school or work. They can be painful and disfiguring, and could involve lengthy complex dental treatment. The cost of injury to your teeth or jaw far exceeds the cost of custom fitted mouth guards.
- Lip or tongue piercings can damage your teeth or your gums – seek advice prior to procedures.
- Having straighter teeth can make flossing and brushing easier and improve your confidence. Having braces earlier than later can avoid lengthy treatment.
- Find out if your wisdom teeth may be problematic, and discuss your options.
