FOR TEENAGERS

Change is the law of nature and many changes take place in the teenage years which are interesting and explorative. Sometimes these changes can be stressful and challenging like starting high school, finishing high school, first jobs, starting careers etc. These changes and challenges can affect your oral condition in one way or the other.

Goal

Our goal is to educate and to encourage our teenagers to become skilled to select the right choices when it comes to food and to be disciplined when it comes to brushing and flossing.
