Dental Tips for Teens

Establish a Routine

It can be challenging to maintain a routine with teenagers who are constantly on the go! Encourage your teen to continue brushing twice a day and flossing once daily!

Limit Sugary Snacks and Drinks

As a teenager, they will have more opportunity to indulge in processed and sugary snacks, so remind them of the importance in maintaining a balanced diet and making healthy nutritional choices.

Avoid Tobacco Products

Educate them about the harmful oral health effects of smoking and vaping, which include bad breath, gum disease, and tooth discoloration.

Wear Mouthguards for Sports

If your teen participates in sports, encourage them to wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth from injury during physical activities.
