DENTISTRY FOR TEENS PORTLAND
Big Care for “Big” Smiles
While your teen (and most others) think they are ready to face the real world, you know they are just big kids, and that’s true for their smile as well. The teeth are usually still growing during the teen years, meaning the mouth is going through a lot of important changes. To navigate this, they need a children’s dentistry expert, which you’ll find right here at Dr. Pike Dentistry for Children. We know how to adjust our approach to suit older kids so even they have a great time while we look after their pearly whites.

Should My Teenager Still See a Children’s/Pediatric Dentist?
Thanks to time and the magic of puberty, your child’s mouth, face, and jaws will develop rapidly during their teen years. Our dentists are specially trained in how to monitor these shifts in their dental anatomy while also protecting them from common issues like cavities, meaning we can keep them on the right track as they quickly approach adulthood.
Dental Services for Teens
Your child should still attend checkups and cleanings every six months as they have been, and we’ll work to prevent cavities as well as quickly repair them should they develop.
We can strengthen and enhance damaged teeth with dental crowns as well as provide root canal treatment to stop toothaches quickly to help them avoid an extraction. That being said, we can also perform extractions for stubborn baby teeth or to prepare them for orthodontic care. We also evaluate wisdom teeth and refer them for easy removal.
