From early childhood to teen years, preventative dentistry is a must for excellent oral health.

Teen's Dentistry

Teen dentistry is a specialty in the dental sciences that focuses on the oral health of teenagers.

 

The entire compassionate team at Missouri River Dental is committed to providing a patient experience unlike any other. The foundation of that philosophy is our personable and professional staff. We collectively strive to blend technology, art, and healthcare for each patient. Our goal is to provide you and your teen with an individualized patient experience unlike any other you have had at a dental office. We strive to create a positive and comfortable atmosphere for our patients of all ages while still meeting their dental needs, wishes, and exceeding expectations. Call us today at 701-751-7177 or enter your request online to schedule an appointment for an evaluation for your child. You can conveniently find Missouri River Dental at 1600 Uptown Lane, Bismarck, ND, 58503.

Regular Examinations are Critical in Preventative Teen Dentistry

Just like every adult, your teen should visit us for routine dentistry services, which include checkups and cleanings. These cleanings are most beneficial every six months. These consistent dentistry exams will help your teen, you, and us to avoid unnecessary cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. No different than a dental cleaning for you, Missouri River Dental will remove damaging plaque and debris from your child’s teeth. We always include giving your teen an oral exam.

 

Oral exams are a foundational part of preventative dentistry. It is important to make sure that your teen does not miss any cleanings. What may have been a small cavity that we could have quickly corrected now ends up requiring a more severe procedure, which is an aspect of dentistry that can be difficult to undergo, especially if it were avoidable.

 

Make sure your teen sees us every six months for a healthy, bright smile.

Simple Tips for Teens to Help Avoid Tooth Decay

Here are some simple tips to help your teen maintain healthy teeth and avoid preventable procedures:

 

  • Make sure your teen brushes twice a day.
  • Ensure your teen flosses and rinses out their mouth with mouthwash at least twice a day.
  • Schedule an appointment with Missouri River Dental for a cleaning and checkup every six months to avoid tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
  • Limit your teen’s intake of sugary foods and drinks.

Clear Aligners for Teens

If you’ve started to notice issues with the alignment of your teen’s teeth, you may be considering different orthodontic solutions to help adjust their teeth. While traditional braces are effective, many teens hate the appearance of metal braces in their mouths. That’s part of what makes clear aligners such an excellent option for teens.

 

The state-of-the-art clear aligner technology we use at Missouri River Dental has been proven to be successful for many patients. They can help with a variety of different alignment issues that include crookedness, crowding, gaps between teeth, and overbites. Actually, clear aligners have become so advanced over the years that they can correct many of the same issues as traditional braces.

 

The clear aligners system provided by Missouri River Dental involves the use of plastic, clear aligner trays that are worn on your teen’s teeth daily. These custom trays are changed out every two weeks to continue to advance your teen’s corrective treatment until their teeth are in the optimal position.

Why is Missouri River Dental Your Perfect Teen Dentist?

Ideally, it’s best to find the right dentist for your child at an early age that they can stick with throughout their entire childhood (including their teen years). With that said, you may have recently moved, your dentist may have retired, or you simply may have decided that your current dentist isn’t the right fit for you. Whatever the case may be, if you are in search of a new dentist for your teen, look no further than Missouri River Dental.

 

At Missouri River Dental, we specialize in the care of both teens and adults. We understand the challenges that teens face with maintaining their oral health, and we provide a variety of services that will help to ensure the health of your teen’s teeth, gums, and jawbone.

 

As Missouri River Dental treats both teens and adults, one major advantage of our dental practice is that your teen won’t need to find a new dentist once they enter adulthood. We can take care of your teen’s teeth for years to come.

 

It’s understandable if you would like to learn more about your child’s dental practice before you set an appointment. Our team is happy to meet with you and give you a tour of our practice. This way, you’ll have a better understanding of who we are, what we stand for, and how well equipped we are to provide your teen with the best oral healthcare possible.
