TEENS

ZERO TO HAPPY IN LESS THAN 18

Teen Dentist Vancouver WA families trust Adventure Dental because we get it—teenagers want to grow up, but don’t necessarily want to be treated like grown-ups either. Going to the pediatric dentist can feel childish (no teen wants that), but the general dentist can be boring! After hearing that dilemma over and over, we decided that teens need their own space…with just the right amount of fun and “cool.”

Oral hygiene

Different from your little ones, these bigger ones brush their own teeth, make their own food choices, etc. And even their perfectly brushed mouths can potentially turn into a bacteria breeding zone.

Puberty

Mouths change as their bodies do. We need to adapt dental care to adjust to this changing environment. Keeping things balanced in their mouth can be assisted through the use of different pastes, rinses, and probiotics.

Braces

We call braces “plaque traps” and have the equipment and hygiene professionals to go to battle against it. Teen patients who get orthodontic treatments with us receive the benefit of being able to schedule their cleanings in unison with their orthodontic appointments so we can keep a close eye on their hygiene.

Motivation

Remember when our kids listened to us and believed us when we said something was important? Since you are likely not living in that fairy tale with your teenagers, we need to help them understand the importance of taking care of their teeth by keeping them interesting, fun, and cool

Wisdom Teeth & Growth Checks

As teens grow, their mouths keep changing right along with them. During routine checkups, our teen dentist in Vancouver, WA tracks wisdom teeth development, jaw growth, and bite alignment so we can catch potential issues, like impaction, crowding, or shifting teeth, long before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, regular monitoring during the teen years helps catch orthodontic and developmental issues early. If a referral for wisdom teeth removal or orthodontic treatment is ever needed, we’ll walk your family through the process and coordinate with local specialists so nothing falls through the cracks.

Sports Mouthguards & Cosmetic Confidence

Between practices, games, selfies, and everything in between, teens want a smile that can keep up. We offer custom-fitted sports mouthguards that are far more comfortable and protective than anything you’ll find on a store shelf, helping active teens avoid chipped teeth and other sports-related injuries. We also talk with teens about teeth whitening and other cosmetic options when they want a little extra confidence heading into school photos, prom, or a big game.

What to Expect at Your Teen’s Visit

As your Teen Dentist Vancouver WA team, we know teens have busy schedules, so we keep visits efficient and straightforward. Most checkups include a cleaning, digital X-rays when needed, and a quick conversation about anything going on, whether that’s braces care, a chipped tooth from sports, or questions about whitening. We’ll always explain things directly to your teen, not just to you, so they feel informed and comfortable being part of the conversation about their own care and treatment options.
