Crucial Dental Care for Teenagers

Maintaining oral health during the teen years can be a challenge, but consistent effort from parents makes a lasting difference. While teens may not always show it, they are paying attention. Regular reminders to brush, floss, and make healthy food choices play a key role in preventing future dental issues like cavities and gum disease.

Biannual dental checkups help reinforce these healthy habits and provide teens with guidance in a positive, supportive setting. The encouragement from a caring dental team can go a long way in reinforcing the messages shared at home.

At-Home Tips to Support Your Teen’s Oral Health

  • Limit sugary sodas and energy drinks.
  • Encourage brushing, especially before bed.
  • Teach the importance of not sharing toothbrushes.
  • Pack dental floss or a toothpick in their backpack or lunchbox for on-the-go care.
