Adolescents have special needs. Appearance and self-image are important to them. Decayed or poorly positioned teeth or jaws make them more self-conscious. Teens also eat frequently, and unhealthy snack foods tend to become a major part of their regular diet. We provide a professional, sensitive, and caring approach to restoring and guiding teeth and teaching preventive dental health care through the teen’s high school years.
