Teens Need Special Care

While becoming a teenager may be one of most challenging times in life, dental care during this time should not be a challenge. Teens need special care as they move towards adulthood. This is often the time for braces so maintaining oral hygiene is most important. The long term effects of neglect beneath the orthodontics will become visible as soon as the braces come off.

Dr. Kupietzky is well aware of the dentistry needs for adolescents and teens as an important part of the advanced training of a Pediatric Dentist concerns the needs of teens. To learn more on this subject see the “Five Essential Facts for Teens” and “Why Teens May Get Their First Cavity”.

Why Teens May Get Their First Cavity

Just When They Thought That They're Too Old for It
  1. Teens have a number of new permanent teeth, and teeth that have just come through the gums are more prone to decay.

  2.  Because almost all of the  permanent teeth have come in, teens simply have more tooth surfaces susceptible to decay.

  3.  Teens are more independent when it comes to seeking dental appointments – or avoiding them. Some teens do not visit their pediatric dentist as often as they did when Mom drove them.

  4. Teens are more in charge of their eating habits and oral health care than ever before. They may not eat healthy foods as regularly as they used to, or brush and floss as often.
