Should My Teenager Still See a Pediatric Dentist?
Your teenager might roll their eyes at the thought of needing to see a pediatric dentist – but to be frank, there are few who are better equipped for tending to their still-developing smile. During adolescence, the jaw is still growing, teeth are sometimes still shifting around, and of course, dental issues can still pop up and wreak havoc. Pediatric dentists aren’t just trained to assist younger smiles – they’re trained to support smiles throughout all of one’s youth, ensuring that teeth end up where they’re supposed to be, the jaw is a healthy shape and structure, and every oral structure is problem-free.
Dental Services for Teens
Teens can benefit from many types of specific treatments, some of which are preventive in nature, with others focusing on restoring compromised teeth and future-proofing them. Here are some examples:
- Tooth-colored fillings made from natural-looking, durable materials, can be safely used to fill cavities and ensure that moving forward, the tooth is healthy and free of decay.
- Dental crowns made from zirconia, which can be used to restore a severely damaged or decayed tooth and allow it to remain a healthy part of your teen’s smile.
