16 Dec Fight the Anxiety: Help Your Child Get a New Smile for 2020!

Have you ever bit into a nut without cracking it? Afterward, your teeth might hurt for a day or two. One reason that people living in Whitby could be going nuts this holiday season is there are so many things to do. Don’t let the oral health needs of your kids get lost in the hustle and bustle of shopping, cooking, decorating, travelling, and gift-giving. Helping them to access high-quality orthodontic care could help them improve their smile in 2020. That’s where Taunton Orthodontics can help!

Dealing With Apprehensive Kids

There’s a good chance that your preteen or teenager is self-conscious about having crooked or crowded teeth. They might also have a bite that looks irregular, such as an overbite, an underbite, or a crossbite. Anything that stands out about one’s smile is a potential source of embarrassment. Although it’s typical for kids to worry about their appearance, don’t postpone corrective orthodontics because of cost, a child’s anxiety, or a child’s fear of social acceptance. At Taunton Orthodontics, we understand that it takes time to install orthodontic devices and gradually correct your child’s bite while moving their teeth into the right positions. While we cannot guarantee parents that the treatment process will be comfortable or hassle-free for their children, we have ways to address their fears and correct their smile. The final result is worth the effort that goes into the process.

Discuss Orthodontics Over The Winter Break

This winter, we encourage your family to discuss the benefits of orthodontic treatment. Some options like clear aligners aren’t even noticeable by other people. It’s important to address your child’s fears and concerns. Our highly-trained Whitby orthodontists can assist with explaining the treatment process. We hope that your family will be happy and safe throughout this holiday season.

Please contact us today for a convenient appointment and discover the orthodontic treatments that might benefit your child.
