Adolescent
Dentistry For Teenagers In Southlake, TX
Sometimes, teenagers encounter new challenges as they mature. They’re more concerned about how they look. They play a lot more sports. So we change right along with them…

Growing Up With G&G
Why would a parent bring their teenage child to Giggles and Grins? Dr. Watts has a theory: “Our Board Certification – the extra tests, the extra training – helps us provide the highest level of care. Honestly, we push ourselves to be the best… and I think parents understand and appreciate that.” To Dr. Armstrong, it’s about forging a lasting connection. “After a few years, we’re family. I get graduation invitations and wedding invitations from patients that I saw when they were a year old! That trust doesn’t stop – we now have second-generation patients who bring their babies to us. I can’t believe I’m that old… but it’s an emotional experience.”

Sports Protection
Increased athletic activity means an increased chance of injury – in contact sports, especially. “In football, mouthguards are mandatory, but in baseball and basketball… usually not”, Dr. Armstrong says. “The trick is making a mouthguard that your kid will actually want to wear” “Our approach is unique. We offer different colors – orange, blue, lime green and others. Patients choose a favorite style. Then we take an impression of their teeth for a perfect fit. The whole process is very quick… a custom mouthpiece in 24 hours. “Remember, they designed it. So they’re more likely to wear it.”
