Hygiene Tips for Teens for Oral Health
Teens, sometimes, are too lazy to brush their teeth at night. It not only leads to tooth decay but also causes bad breath. So, brushing teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed, is important for maintaining oral health. Doctors also recommend flossing 2 to 3 times a week.
Teens can often be difficult and trying during this period as they act stubborn and experience frequent mood swings due to the hormonal changes. As a result, parents must extend patience.
As parents, you may be more successful in making them see reason through subtle persistence rather than by arguing with them. This may only push them away and create a communication gap. Remember, your child is on their way to becoming an adult and would thus demand that they be treated like one.
