Permanent teeth will begin to grow around age 6, and with the exception of 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, which 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 important that they are brushed and flossed regularly and that periodic check-ups by a dentist are followed.

We took our grandchildren there once for our daughter. We were both impressed with the care and attention they received. I'm really glad they have a place to go and be comfortable while getting the BEST care!

Both my kids have used Dr Richardson since since being in the area and we LOVE him and his staff. Always so satisfied with his work and how well he handles both my older son and much younger daughter.

I love love love all the dentist's and hygienists here! But the people on the phone leave a lot too be desired. I called to cancel and reschedule a dentist appointment during office hours on a Thursday, however no one answered and I left a message. I did not receive a call back like I asked. Then when I called again on the following Monday I was told that the cancelled the appointment but that no one called. Then I could only get an appointment for 2 months later (Which is ridiculous) and when I said something about not appreciating the no call she got snotty with me and said well we were booked that far anyway. I understand that but if given a call last week I might have gotten a little bit earlier.

I took my 4 year old there and the dentist took a flashlight and looked in her mouth without cleaning out with water or anything and said she needs to be put to sleep and eight caps..... What she has been seeing an older dentist for 2 years and a couple months ago she need a couple of filling ... She had eaten a chocolate granola bar before we got there. I would go and look how they do things first before you take your child. I will Never take or recommend.
