While it\u2019s easy to write off their concerns as vanity, the truth is that people with dental problems are more likely to experience feelings of depression and unworthiness which can impact their performance at work or school. Fortunately, their dentist can provide multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalrose.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic services<\/a> that they might benefit from. That said, some procedures may not be appropriate for still-growing teeth. Keep reading to learn about 3 cosmetic dental procedures that can help your child thrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment #1: Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be surprised if your youth nags you to help them lighten their smile. Bright, white teeth have become a standard aspect of beauty standards today. They can be seen on everyone from famous musicians and movie stars to social media influencers that your teen follows. It\u2019s possible to find convenient solutions at your local drugstore, but over-the-counter products contain abrasive ingredients. The bleach is known to wear down enamel and leave teeth feeling sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dentists, however, have access to professional-grade whitening products that won\u2019t cause the same discomfort. Your child\u2019s dentist can remove years\u2019 worth of stains in a single in-office treatment. If that isn\u2019t feasible, they can also provide take-home kits using the same safe ingredients as well as customized trays for the most effective results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment #2: Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your child tend to show signs of self-consciousness because they have chipped or overcrowded teeth or a gap in their grin? No one feels like their best or most beautiful self when they\u2019re living with an eye-catching flaw. Porcelain veneers are a popular method used to hide problem areas to improve your appearance. These thin, ceramic shells can be attached to the front of your teen\u2019s pearly whites to mask imperfections while simultaneously protecting the underlying tooth from additional damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that for veneers to sit flush against the gums, your dentist must remove a thin layer of enamel, which does not regenerate. That means your teen\u2019s teeth will be irreversibly changed before they\u2019ve reached adulthood. It\u2019s important that you and your child understand the preparation involved before committing to veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment #3: Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We often take our tooth size for granted, but it makes a difference in how we feel about ourselves. An overly gummy smile, for example, can leave teeth looking smaller than they are. No youth wants to look like they still have baby teeth as they\u2019re approaching adulthood! Thankfully, their dentist can assist with gum recontouring. In this procedure, they\u2019ll reshape your kid\u2019s gum line and remove excess tissue to improve the symmetry of their smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By helping your teenager enhance their appearance, you\u2019ll give them the confidence boost they need to move forward successfully in life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Michael Rose understands how a person\u2019s smile can influence their overall livelihood and proudly works with patients to determine the best possible treatments to meet their individual needs.
