What are the benefits of a healthy smile?
When interacting with new people and forming friendships, a beautiful and healthy smile is essential. Additionally, it can increase your self-esteem and confidence. You could develop conditions that would lower your self-esteem if you don’t take good care of your teeth and gums. This can include bad breath, stained teeth, tooth decay, gum disease, tooth loss and or dental erosion.
Therefore, maintaining oral health as a Teen is super important!
Oral health maintenance tips for teens:
- Brush your teeth for a total of two minutes at least once during the day and last thing at night.
- Use a toothbrush with a small to medium-sized brush head and soft to medium-firm bristles.
- Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste with a fluoride content of between 1350 and 1500 ppm.
- Consume sugary foods and beverages only during meal times.
- Keep on top of your dental visits as often as your dental professionals advise.
- Help remove plaque and food by cleaning in between your teeth using "interdental" brushes or dental floss.
- Floss your teeth at least once a day.
- Use the appropriate mouthwash to freshen your breath and eliminate bacteria.
- If you drink fizzy beverages, use a straw to help the beverage reach the back of your mouth.
- Before brushing your teeth, try to give yourself at least an hour to digest your meal or drink.
Toothbeary's top tip for teens:
- Chew sugar-free gum to increase saliva production and neutralise the production of acids in your mouth after eating.
How can I protect my teeth whilst playing sports?
When engaging and participating in any sporting activity that includes contact with moving or stationary objects, it’s advisable to wear a professionally made mouthguard. Teenagers can avoid fracturing and damaging their teeth, as well as breaking or dislocating their jaw, with a custom-made mouthguard.
Please enquire today about sports mouthguards with our dental team at Toothbeary. It will give you peace of mind knowing you have the correct protection.
Teenage braces
Many teenagers do not like the way their teeth bite together or how they are positioned. For better function and aesthetics, teeth can be moved and straightened with braces. Sometimes, braces are required for medical reasons but during the time braces are worn, teenagers must keep their teeth clean and care for their braces.
There are various orthodontic appliances available from fixed braces to removable aligners. Our dental hygienists can advise teenagers on how to care for their teeth and gums during the course of their teeth straightening treatment.
