Permanent teeth will begin to grow around age 6, and except for wisdom teeth, are all present between ages 12 and 14. The next teeth to grow in are the 12-year molars and finally the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth typically begin breaking through from age 17 and on. The total number of permanent teeth is 32, though few people have room for all 32 teeth. This is why wisdom teeth are usually removed.
Your front teeth are called incisors. The sharp fang-like teeth are canines. The next side teeth are referred to as pre-molars or bicuspids, and the back teeth are molars. Your permanent teeth are the ones you keep for life, so it is vital that they are brushed and flossed regularly and that periodic check-ups by a dentist are followed.

After taking our children to Harshaw for many years they referred a small bill denied by our insurance to a credit agency without telling us. Thought we meant more to him as long term clients than this type of rough treatment would imply. Disappointing.

I've been thrilled with the dental care that my 4 kids have received with the dentists at this practice- we usually switch around who we see, and we've liked all the dentists. We originally came to the practice years ago because our then-current dentist recommended pulling a front tooth of our small child due to a bad cavity. It might have impacted speech, so we got a second opinion with Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry. The doctor we saw was able to save the tooth, and was able to coordinate with another doctor to get a biopsy we needed for other reasons-- I appreciated that we could get everything done at one time and not need to have a kid under sedation twice. The front office staff has been amazing. They're kind, friendly, and consistently wonderful. I love that we consistently leave our dental appointments smiling. When I've had forms or questions, they're always taken care of. The dental technicians who do the cleaning are great too- they seem to care about the kids and I appreciate that they take time to explain things to me if I have questions. We travel a half hour each way to get to the dentist- there are others closer to us- but for us, it's well worth the travel time. I'm grateful for the care they have provided.

Dr.Harshaw and his entire staff are wonderful. We had tried two pediatric dentists before, but Dr.Harshaw was the only one who put our infant son at ease and walked him through each step of the exam. Dr.Harshaw obviously cares very much about making sure his clients feel comfortable and is excellent at his work. We greatly appreciated the professionalism of his staff, especially Alisha who helped coordinate our the benefits. I highly recommend Dr.Harshaw and Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry of the Mainline to all my friends and clients.
