           Dr. Cameron Fuller says, “A simple laser treatment can even out the smile line of your teen’s gums Keep in mind that the gum tissue is like the frame of your child’s tooth. Evening the tissue can  enhance the overall look.”

2.     Orthodontics
           Talk to your child’s dentist about whether orthodontics is a viable option in order to fix crooked teeth, spacing issues or bite problems. There are many options that can be used to treat your child – traditional braces, invisilign, etc. so don’t delay getting the information you need to make a good decision for your child.

3. Use of tooth-colored or white fillings
            Tooth-colored fillings ensure their fillings and their teeth match when they smile for that prom picture.  While there are a variety of options with fillings, ensuring they are tooth-colored helps to create a healthy white smile.

4. See the dentist regularly to remove stains
            Food and drinks can leave stains on your teen’s teeth that cannot be removed with simple brushing and flossing. Visiting the dentist on a regular basis will ensure any stubborn stains are removed from the surface of their teeth.

There are a variety of options now days to help fix any cosmetic problems impacting your teen. Dr. Fuller suggests, “Talk to your pediatric dentist early to see what options are available to improve your child’s smile.”

    I wish I had taken this advice with my kids before they grew up. My daughter hates her prom pictures just because her teeth are a bit crooked in them.

"However, it is very important that if your child has a gap in their teeth due to a maxillary frenum, or another reason, that it be corrected," says pediatric dentist Dr. Cameron Fuller. Your child’s education, speech and self-confidence is dependent upon it being corrected at an early age.             As your child gets older they are working on saying certain sounds.
