DENTIST FOR TEENS WATERFORD
Exceptional, Comfortable Dentistry for Teens
Although your teen may no longer be a child, they can still benefit from seeing a pediatric dentist in Waterford because their facial structure and oral anatomy is still developing. Dr. Joe’s specialized experience makes him well-versed in the unique dental complications that can arise while the jawbone is still growing, allowing him to spot common concerns in teens early on.

Should My Teenager Still See a Pediatric Dentist?
The jawbone continues developing until around 16 years old, which is why pediatric dentists see patients up until that age. As a key supportive structure of the teeth and gums, Dr. Joe pays special attention to the development of the jaw, looking for signs of TMJ disorder (a condition that impacts the two joints that connect the jaw to the skull), sleep apnea and airway development, and the need for orthodontic intervention.
