FAQs About Teen Dental Care 💬
Can a 15-year-old go to a pediatric dentist?
Yes—but many teens outgrow the pediatric setting. Our practice bridges that gap with care that’s tailored to teens.
Can you go to the dentist under 18?
Absolutely! Teens should keep seeing the dentist twice a year for cleanings and exams—just like adults.
What age should kids stop seeing a pediatric dentist?
Most kids transition to general or teen-focused dental care between ages 12–14, depending on maturity and dental needs.
How often should a 12-year-old go to the dentist?
Every 6 months for cleanings and checkups, unless they need more frequent care due to braces or cavities.
How common are cavities in 12-year-olds?
Very common. Teens are at higher risk due to sugary snacks, busy schedules, and less supervised brushing.
What are two early signs of gum disease?
Swollen, bleeding gums and persistent bad breath.
What does stage 1 gingivitis look like?
Red, puffy gums that bleed when brushing—but it’s reversible with better hygiene and a good cleaning.
What drink is good for healing gums?
Water is #1! Green tea and unsweetened cranberry juice may also reduce inflammation.
