In this new generation who may be the least likely to brush and floss teeth regularly due to less parental supervision and their own busy schedules are our teens. Oral care and hygiene is important for children of all ages, including teens. its a fact and truth for wonderful healthy future smile our youth need perfect oral care..

 

But more over good oral hygiene is important for teens for several reasons:

brushing-teeth

                                  In the teen age teenagers are acquiring their last permanent teeth and some are acquiring wisdom teeth. Teeth that have just erupted come through the gums are especially susceptible to plaque buildup which leads to tooth decay. So twice-daily tooth brushing and flossing is important for good oral care.
Mostly Teens are following their own timetables. They are taking more responsibility for their own diet and nutrition habits, and they may be eating all hours or less likely to have food. They used to adhere bedtime brushing and flossing routine because they might not practice from the early age.

Rather than trying to impose a routine that fits a younger child’s schedule, help teens adapt to a healthy oral hygiene and care routine to suit their life.

Dear parents kindly note Are your kids more likely to floss right before they leave for school in the morning than before they goes to bed at night? Fine.

Do they prefer a mint floss, to contribute to fresh breath or a regular floss or spongy floss?

Encourage them to keep dental floss in a purse or gym bag and remind them how a healthy smile and fresh breath can make anyone more attractive. For a good dental help don’t hesitate to contact Dr.Nechupadam Dental, Marine Drive.
