Children & Senior Care

Typically, children experience the emergence of 20 primary teeth between 6 and 30 months after birth. Around the age of 6, the first permanent teeth appear, gradually replacing the baby teeth, resulting in a total of 28 teeth (excluding wisdom teeth) by the age of 12 or 13.

Ensuring proper counseling, prevention, and treatment before all permanent teeth erupt is crucial to maintaining healthy teeth throughout adulthood. Orthodontic treatment during the growth phase can also promote harmonious jawbone development. Children require specialized care and education to instill good oral habits and take responsibility for their dental health.

On the other hand, in the elderly over 60 years old, it is common to have fewer than 28 healthy permanent teeth, and the condition of the alveolar bone may not be sufficient to support the teeth. In such cases, fully restoring all missing teeth might present medical or financial challenges, making personalized and compromised care more suitable. Our medical team is dedicated to helping patients preserve healthy teeth well into their 80s and beyond.
