Oral Health Changes During Puberty

Why Teens Need to Switch from
EvoraKids to EvoraPlus

As children enter their teen years, many things change – their hair, their skin, their body, and yes, their oral health needs.
On a cosmetic level, many teens start to see tooth staining and are interested in having those bright, white smiles they see on television and in magazines.

Tooth staining in teens can generally be attributed to changes in diet and consumption of staining foods, like coffee and colas.

Bad breath is also a major image issue for teens.

Some of these issues can be attributed to children entering a stage of greater independence as they become teenagers. As kids get older, parents are less likely to nag about tooth brushing or how many sodas their children have consumed during the day.

On the other hand, just like issues with skin and hair, hormones have an effect on what’s going on in a teenager’s mouth. While teens are still very likely to form cavities, they also become more susceptible to bad breath and periodontal disease due to chemical and bacterial changes in the mouth. It stands to reason that as the rest of the body changes, so changes the mouth.

Thus, as they enter their teen years, it’s logical for children to switch from using EvoraKids to using EvoraPlus probiotic mints, which are formulated not just to address gum and tooth health, but also to combat bad breath and to gently whiten teeth.
