TEENAGE TEETH FACTS
At this age you now have teeth that will be with you for the rest of your life. By caring for them appropriately you can ensure the brightest, healthiest smile possible.
- You have not outgrown cavities – Teens can actually have a higher incidence of tooth decay due to frequent snacking, busy schedules, and poor nutrition.
- Health smiles are attractive – Not only is a clear, white smile a sign that you care about how you look, but nobody finds yellowing teeth, swollen gums, or bad breath attractive. Brushing, flossing, and keeping your dental appointments every 6 months are all important aspects of keeping your smile healthy.
- Movie star mouth – It seems that celebrities all have perfectly straight, white teeth. If you have concerns about crooked or yellowing teeth, consult your dentist regarding the various treatments available to create your best smile. If you take care of your teeth now, they will look good for a lifetime.
