The teen years are dentistry's busiest decade: adult teeth finishing, wisdom teeth arriving, orthodontic windows opening, and a newfound diet of sports drinks and independence. Here is how we look after it all.
Wisdom teeth. We monitor position and timing from the mid-teens, so decisions are planned rather than forced by a painful weekend. Wisdom Teeth Removal Orthodontic timing. Crowding and bite issues are assessed at every check-up, with honest guidance on whether Invisalign Teen or braces fits, and when. Orthodontics Cavity risk. Energy drinks, juice and grazing make the teen years cavity-prone. Sealants on new molars and fluoride keep small risks small. Sports protection. One custom mouthguard costs a fraction of one knocked-out tooth. Sports Mouthguards
We speak to teens directly, explain findings to them first, and hand them ownership of their own brushing and flossing, with parents in the loop, not in the middle. Habits built at fifteen are the ones that survive university.
Because we provide children's, teen and adult care in one location, your teen keeps the same familiar team from first molars to wisdom teeth, and their full history stays in one chart.
