Dental Care for Teenagers

As children grow to become teenagers, their attitude toward dental care may change.

Teenagers often place a low priority on their dental care due to changes in lifestyle, adolescent rebellion and increased parental independence.

At The Point Dental, we understand that teenagers need extra support and care. We are dedicated to providing the best possible dental care for teenagers by giving them the advice and tools to look and feel their best.

Dental issues associated with teenagers:

Smoking – Aside from other health problems, smoking can cause gum disease, bad breath, tartar build-up and staining of the teeth.

Oral piercing – Lip and tongue piercings can cause significant infections, bleeding and even nerve damage. Oral piercings can also chip teeth and damage the gums.

Crowding – If you notice crowding of teeth in your pre-teen or teen, a proper consultation with your dentist or orthodontist is essential. Crowding of teeth makes cleaning difficult and increases the risk of cavities. It can also affect your teenager’s self-esteem and confidence.

Impacted wisdom teeth – All impacted wisdom teeth should be carefully assessed for removal to prevent any future complications such as infection, decays, and toothache. Learn more about wisdom teeth here.

Dental care tips for teenagers:

  • Brush and floss regularly. There is no substitute for good oral hygiene.
  • Reduce snacking or the intake of any sugary food or drinks.
  • Wear a custom-made mouthguard if you play any contact sports.
  • Visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning.

Have been going to this dentist since 2017 and I've had multiple visits most of the years since and I'm always amazed at how good they are ... Currently Olga is doing my dental work and she is caring and professional. Cannot be faulted. I have no hesitation in recommending this clinic. The best dentist I've ever been to.

I was so scared about going to the dentist and ashamed of the state of my teeth, I needed and chose to have All On 4 done. Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental, were very professional at all times, they made the experience a comfortable one with all of their support every step of the way. I even cried with joy after it was all done. I can now smile again without embarrassment. I already have and will again, highly recommend Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental.

I've been visiting this clinic for 2 years. Dr Michael Seng is a friendly and caring dentist. I have recommend my friends and they are very happy with Dr Seng too. I have moved my children to see Dr Evelyn Teo in this clinic as Dr Seng is not accepting new patients. Dr Evelyn Teo has a sense of humour and she makes us feel comfortable. Both dentists, Dr Seng and Dr Teo, will give constructive feedback to improve our oral hygiene and explain everything in detail. If I could, I really want to give 10 stars for both of them.

I highly recommend The Point Dental for anyone, but especially for people who have any stress or anxiety associated with the dentist. The front office team have been amazing, they are warm and friendly. I'd like to point out Natalie who has helped me from my first enquiry and has made be feel very welcome and comfortable. Dr Olga Kaini has been looking after me, she is friendly, highly professional, and has been very patient with me about my dental anxiety. She has done her best to make me feel comfortable and at-easy while in the chair and can't thank her enough. I have full confidence and trust that the team at The Point Dental have my best interest at heart. If you are looking for a dentist embodies professionalism, compassion and skill, then look no further. And if you think your dental anxiety gets too much, ask for the green whistle!
