Why Is Teen Oral Health So Important?

Teenage years bring significant physical changes, including those affecting teeth and appearance. It's a critical time for oral health for several reasons:

‍
Dietary Habits
As teens take charge of their food choices, they may develop poor dietary habits. This can lead to tooth decay, making regular dental care crucial.
‍

‍Hormonal Changes
‍Higher hormonal activity during puberty can make teens more susceptible to issues like gingivitis, toothaches, gum sensitivity, and increased plaque production. Regular dental visits are essential for early detection and prevention.

By ensuring your teen receives annual dental visits, we help set them on the path to excellent oral health. These visits also establish healthy oral habits that will serve them well into adulthood.

FAQ's

Do veneers require special care?

Veneers need regular care similar to natural teeth. This includes daily brushing and flossing, avoiding staining substances, and scheduling regular dental check-ups for maintenance.
How long do veneers last?

Veneers can last for 10-15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. However, their lifespan depends on factors like your oral hygiene, diet, and habits.
Are veneers a permanent solution?

Veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic solution, but they are not permanent. They may need to be replaced or repaired over time due to wear and tear.
Does getting veneers hurt?

The process of getting veneers is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is often used during the initial tooth preparation to minimize discomfort. Some patients might experience minor sensitivity after the procedure, which usually subsides quickly.
Can anyone get veneers?

Veneers are suitable for many people, but a dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if you are a good candidate. In some cases, underlying dental issues may need to be addressed first.
Do veneers stain or discolor over time?

High-quality veneers are resistant to staining, but it's essential to minimize exposure to staining substances like coffee and tobacco. Regular care and maintenance can help keep them looking their best.
Difference between crowns and veneers?

While Crowns cap the entire tooth, Veneers are only applied to the front of the tooth. Veneers are also less invasive than Crowns.
