Why Teen Dental Care Is So Important
The teenage years are a critical time for oral health. Permanent teeth are still developing, and lifestyle changes—such as diet, sports, and orthodontic treatment—can increase the risk of tooth decay or injury.
Regular dental visits help:
Detect cavities early
Prevent long-term dental problems
Support healthy gums
Build confidence in caring for their smile
By taking advantage of free dental care, you’re investing in your teen’s long-term health and wellbeing.
