5 Teenage Dental Health Issues There are many teenage dental health issues that adolescents currently face in today's society. Teenagers tend to delay or neglect their own oral care until they experience acute pain or discomfort. Famous childrens dentist Indooroopilly says that teenage dental health issues affect both the quality of life and the daily activities of teenagers.

1. Teeth crowding and misalignment is the most common dental problem in children. Teeth can also be displaced due to tooth loss, abrasion or erosion (e.g., from acidic drinks and candies), and traumatic injury. 2. Wisdom teeth eruption is the process in which third molars, or your wisdom teeth, grow in. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to appear and they usually start showing up between 16 and 21 years old. Wisdom tooth eruption can be painful because there is not enough room for them to come in correctly.


3. Leading cause of tooth damage today is the use of new, dangerous habits. Tooth decay and gingivitis are on the rise as a result of reckless behavior such as drinking through a straw or chewing tobacco. 4. Trauma during sports refers to physical trauma or mental trauma experienced by an athlete during or as a result of participating in sport. Traumatic injuries sustained by athletes are classified according to the type and severity of injury, with regard for underlying etiology (cause) and contributing factors says dentist Indooroopilly. 5. Oral piercings are most commonly placed in the tongue, lips, and cheeks. Oral piercings have been documented throughout history in many different cultures around the world.
