Teen Health Isn't Child's Play

The teenage years are fraught with developmental milestones and a growing desire for independence. As a parent, you want them to grow up and make smart decisions about their health and body. When it comes to your teen’s mouth, there are still some things you should keep an eye on to make sure they have every advantage heading into adulthood. Wisdom Teeth-

Tooth sensitivity is a common problem, but you don’t have to suffer in silence. There are many treatments available that can have you enjoying your favorite foods again in no time. Tooth sensitivity can have many causes including:

Enamel loss along the gum line
– Clenching, grinding, and brushing too hard or with a hard-bristled toothbrush can cause the thin enamel along the gum line to wear away. Under the tooth enamel lies a layer of dentin. Dentin’s composition is much like our bones, hard, yet porous. It is made of tiny tubules which act like pathways to the pulp and nerve of our teeth.

I highly recommend dentiq to anyone looking for a dentist in Houston. Courtney has been cleaning my teeth as well as my husbands teeth for years now and I would never want to go to anyone else! I feel like the staff really takes the time to develop a rapport with their patients and that make them stand out from the rest. Also, the waiting area is SO chic. You would never think you were walking into a dentist office.
