Sometimes, you will make assumptions about smile and your age, fully believing that what you think is true is simply fact. In many cases, you might be completely wrong! To this we say: Consider some new information about age and caring for your smile. You may be very surprised by the fact that the amount of birthdays you have celebrated on this planet often has little (if nothing at all) to do with your oral health. Let’s make our way through some frequently asked questions.
Questions and Answers
Question: Aren’t I too young to deal with tooth loss? I keep noticing that dental prosthetics seem to be offered to patients of all ages. Can I really lose teeth at any age?
Answer: Nobody is too young to deal with tooth loss. It can affect little kids, teens, and adults. It may be the result of incorrect smile care or it can happen due to an accident. Protect your oral health and loss is not likely.
Question: Is my child too young to develop any serious problems with gum health or dental health? I know consistent smile care is important for everyone but kid smiles just seem like they’re stronger than adult smiles.
Answer: Everyone is vulnerable. Even babies! Brush, floss, make sure your kids brush and floss, see our team, and schedule visits for your kids. It’s worth it.
Question: Is there a particular age range that’s set for cosmetic smile care? Can one be too old or too young to come in to strive for a smile that’s more beautiful?
Answer: As for the younger end of the spectrum, it is possible to be too young. We will have to make decisions based on each person (growing, developing grins are often not ready for cosmetic treatments yet). As for the upper limits of the age spectrum, there are no limits!
