Prevention and General Dentistry

Adolescents

Maintaining healthy practices of dental care at home is a message we continue to promote into the teenage years of our younger patients. Semi-annual exams and teeth cleanings are great opportunities for us to assess the degree and type of attention each individual patient needs to maintain for the extended health of his or her teeth.

Depending on the circumstance of the patient, treatment may not need to extend beyond routine teeth cleanings and the occasional tooth filling. Other patients may have an interest in or a need for braces, bonding, or cosmetic work, such as teeth whitening.

We also fit for retainers for minor tooth movement or correction, TMJ appliances for conditions such as malocclusion, and sports guards.
