Whats the major dental problem in teenagers and adolescents?
Tooth decay continues to be the major problem for this group of people. The best way of combat the problem is to brush teeth at least twice a day with floride toothpaste, and clean daily with floss. Eat foods that are nutritious and well-balanced, and limit eating snacks. Visit one’ dentist on a regular basis for professional cleanings and oral examinations, and ask about use of supplemental fluoride and dental sealants (a plastic coating on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect them from decay).
