When people see the term "pediatric dentist" they often think it is a dentist for little children, and that is correct. Pediatric dentists, like Dr. Bunch and Dr. Marshall at Northwest Children's Dentistry, though, are trained to see patients ranging from birth to 17 years in age. Even teenagers have needs that differ from adults, and a pediatric dentist knows how to best evaluate your growing teen's teeth.
Why is it important that a teenager keep seeing the dentist? Besides the obvious issues of cavities and gingivitis, teenagers are still losing teeth. Sometimes during these years we can recommend a child get braces, which will help align teeth into adulthood. Maintaining a healthy dental habits now will aid your child in keeping their teeth well into adulthood and even when they become senior citizens.
