Dentistry for Teens

We all know that getting a teenager to the dentist can be tough. Believe me, I know because I have one of my own. The unfortunate reality is that people in this age group are often subject to high decay rates. Regular check ups and hygiene visits can help prevent cavities, and in some cases where decay has developed, fixing them now rather than later is vital. We sometimes also will consider use of high floride toothpaste in cases where a patient may be at increased risk of decay. Although it can be a challenge, regular visits during this stage of life is of vital importance.
