Teen Dental Care
As teens grow, their dental needs grow with them. At Germantown Pediatric Dental Center, we continue caring for our patients well into their teenage years. Our general dentist now provides expert dental care for adolescents ages 13 to 18—so there’s no need to change offices as your child becomes a teen.
From regular cleanings and checkups to sports mouthguards and whitening options, we offer tailored care in a trusted environment that helps teens feel confident and comfortable every step of the way.
What Is Teen Dental Care?
Teen dental care is designed for adolescents’ unique needs. Issues like wisdom teeth, braces follow-up, sports-related injuries, and cosmetic concerns can become more common during these years. Regular visits help maintain healthy teeth and gums while addressing changes in bite, smile alignment, and hygiene habits.
Why Is It Important During the Teen Years?
The teenage years are a key time for building lifelong dental habits. Hormonal changes, busy schedules, and dietary shifts (hello, energy drinks and snacks!) can put teens at greater risk of cavities, gum issues, and enamel erosion. By continuing dental care with a provider, they already know and trust, teens are more likely to stay consistent with leanings, treatments, and good oral hygiene practices.
