Many adolescents believe they are \u201ctoo cool\u201d or \u201ctoo old\u201d to see a dental professional who specializes in younger smiles; however, the truth is that they are not. While they may not realize it (or accept it), the reality is that your teen can continue to greatly benefit from these visits. Read on to better understand why a pediatric dentist is better for your teen. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Pediatric Dentist Can Monitor Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your teen has been seeing the same pediatric dentist for many years, it is likely their familiar with your child\u2019s oral health and development. But just because they are now teenagers doesn\u2019t mean their jaw, bone, and face stops growing. These facial structures are still moving and changing each day, which is why a pediatric dentist is best for treating any problems that might occur along the way. By continuing to send your teen to a dentist for kids, their dental team can administer the necessary treatment before any problems become more serious as they reach adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Can Determine if Wisdom Teeth Should Be Removed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as third molars, a teen\u2019s wisdom teeth are typically removed between the ages of 17 and 25. Once considered a vital part of an individual\u2019s oral health, early civilizations used them to eat coarse, dense foods. However, has jaws narrowed and nutrition changed, these extra teeth are now only known to cause significant problems (i.e., shifting teeth, infection). A pediatric dentist can monitor the development of these teeth and remove them before they pose a more serious problem later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Pediatric Dentist Can Recommend Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not to say that general dentists are incapable of recommending orthodontic treatment, but as braces and teenagers often go hand-in-hand, a pediatric dentist can better evaluate the changes or shifts occurring in a young person\u2019s mouth, recommending orthodontics to fix these common issues (i.e., overcrowding, gapped or crooked teeth, bite misalignment) and making it a much easier process than when they reach adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Can Help Your Teen Become More Independent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teenager is likely already reminding you they can \u201cdo it on their own\u201d or \u201cdon\u2019t need your help.\u201d While this might sting to hear as a parent, the truth is they simply want to be more independent. Even if they don\u2019t need you to observe their morning oral hygiene routine anymore, a pediatric dentist can help them stay on track with their brushing, flossing, and rinsing techniques as well as allow them to feel more integrated into the treatment options discussed for improved oral health. Not to mention, a dentist for kids can better prepare them to make informed decisions about their teeth and gums once they reach the age of 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your teen may want to hurry the process to move beyond pediatric dentistry, the positive benefits of continuing this relationship will pay off once they reach adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At The Dental Specialists Pediatric Dentistry, we\u2019re proud to have a team of three experienced pediatric dentists: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pedodentalspecialists.com\/lucely-santillan.html\">Dr. Lucely Santillan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pedodentalspecialists.com\/adam-preece-dds.html\">Dr. Adam Preece<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pedodentalspecialists.com\/alexander-shau-dds.html\">Dr. Alexander Shau<\/a>.
