Do you have a teenager?
During puberty, various bodily and emotional changes occur with the surge of hormones in your teenagers. This is a period which can be filled with anxieties. Besides taking care of the most obvious changes, pay attention to issues like self-esteem and peer pressure.
You may notice that your teenager is extremely self-conscious of their bodies, including their ‘bunny teeth’. Habits such as thumb-sucking, mouth breathing and poor tongue posture can result in dental problems, including misaligned teeth. Interceptive treatments like braces may be required in younger children to allow favourable eruption of their adult teeth.
Or perhaps he or she is plugged into their earphones for extended periods of time. Constant exposure of loud music and sounds may cause noise-induced hearing loss and ringing in the ears, a problem which is often underestimated till the damage is irreversible or severe.
