Adolescent Oral Health

Patients’ dental needs change as they mature. The occurrence of cavities and tooth decay often increases in the teen years due to a change in diet, lack of motivation for correct dental hygiene, increased demands in school work, and a busy social life. These topics are addressed with our adolescent patients, as well as their parents, on an individual basis.

Adolescent patients differ from younger children in their overall oral health care needs:

boy brushing teeth

  • Many of our adolescent patients have orthodontic devices which can trap bacteria and food particles. If these orthodontic devices are not kept clean, tooth decay can easily result. Our patients are instructed on proper toothbrushing and flossing practices in order to prevent cavities that can easily develop around the braces.
  • As young adults mature, wisdom teeth removal often becomes a concern. Our friendly staff provides referrals and information and helps to ease any fears that may be associated with wisdom teeth removal and other oral surgeries.
  • In order to help prevent cavities and protect the chewing surfaces of the teeth, sealants are recommended for our adolescent patients when all the permanent teeth erupt.
  • As adolescents become involved in sports activities, protecting permanent teeth becomes important. Mouth guards provide great protection for active adolescents.

Our friendly staff at Burg Children’s Dentistry has found that motivating teens to be knowledgeable about their own dental needs leads to long-term health of the permanent teeth into adulthood. Topics and issues unique to young adults are addressed and planned for treatment with our teen patients and their parents.

Please refer to the American Dental Association for additional information, teen-related topics, and videos.

See What Our Patients Are Saying

They were so friendly and my daughter loved them! They made sure I understood everything before doing any work. I really felt like they loved my girl and wanted to make her comfortable. I would recommend them to everyone!

- Heather H.

Love Burg!! The dentists are fantastic, able to explain exactly what is needed and why. And they talk to my boys, instead of only to me; they include then kids in the decisions. Very patient and friendly. Love the front desk staff, too.

- Jessica K.

What a great experience! My son has been terrified of going to the dentist. The staff was so kind and engaging that he didn’t even bat an eye. They were able to get more done with no tears then the past three dental offices we went to.

- Sarah P.

We love Burg Children’s Dentistry! The staff is so kind and patient and they are so gentle with the kids. My daughter is four and loves going to the dentist because they make it so fun and comfortable. I’m grateful we live close to such a great dental office!

- Claire M.

I love this place, but what is more important is that my daughter loves this place. She looks forward to going to the dentist. I did not grow up with the same experience. I’m confident that she is being taken care of on every visit.

- Sara R.

Amazing staff. From the receptionist to the doctor himself. Very patient with my fifteen month old who wouldn’t lay down to me filling out my paperwork with a newborn in tow. Our family will be returning for sure!

- Jon & Melissa L.

The staff is so great with my kids. On the way for his visit he says, “I LOVE going to the dentist!” Which is funny considering how much I dread it! Dr Nielsen is so nice and takes the time to explain everything he sees.

- Christina T.

The folks at Burg Children’s Dentistry are excellent! Our four year old daughter loves going there and they have set her up to enjoy going to the dentist for years to come! I have recommended them to friends already! Thanks for a great job guys!
