Ep. 546 - Navigating Responsible Cosmetic Dentistry for the Younger Generation

At varying extents, most of us are doing cosmetic dentistry in our practice. But how do we manage the 12 year old that is suffering from what we call SnapChat Dsyphoria? It's a mindset that makes individuals feel inadequate as a result of constantly comparing themselves to social media influencers. We're seeing this phenomenon in some of our younger patients, starting at even 12 years old. They're requesting aggressive treatment like veneers hoping to turn their teeth into celebrity smiles. So what's the best way to approach this? To tell us more about it is our guest Dr. Susan McMahon. Dr. McMahon has devoted her professional career to the pursuit of advanced technologies in cosmetic and minimally invasive dentistry. She frequently lectures across the United States and abroad on minimally invasive dentistry, technology and conservative, undetectable cosmetic dentistry.
