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.

The first time I took my daughter it was great everybody was professional and nice. However this last time was horrible. The lady that was working with my four-year-old was absolutely rude. She should not be working with children. She seemed aggravated and had no patience. We travel 45 minutes away because I really like this place. But we will not be back. I felt rushed and felt like they did not want to take the time to fix my daughters tooth. She was very snippy with my four-year-old. I do not recommend.

Both of our sons have been going to OPD for 9 years. We appreciate their professionalism and attention to care. Our oldest son has special needs. The doctors and hygienists give him extra time and explain each part of the process which helps him feel more comfortable. They are also accommodating if he is having a bad sensory day and needs to return later for care. They have partnered with our orthodontist in their care as well. It's a patient-first approach that we really appreciate!

The staff and doctors were great with my 2y/o son. They were very patient with an active toddler. They explained everything they did and why and gave me tips on toddler teeth brushing. Thank you!

I can't even put into words about how great the doctors and hygienists are. This team is top notch. They're great with all 3 of our kids, take their time, never rush. Dr. Colleen did my daughters cleaning to just help out the hygienist as they were pretty busy with other pts, that's unheard of nowadays in dentistry. She even sang a song to her the entire time brushing her teeth d/t my daughters nervousness and fear. Exactly the reason we continue to drive all the way from reynoldsburg. Thank you!

Dropped my neice as a patient after missing one appointment! We apologized and offered to pay for the missed appointment and they still wouldn't see her again. He might be a good dentist, but Jeff's a trash human being. Receptionist was very kind and very apologetic for what seemed to be an egomaniacal tantrum.

I can not believe this place has so many positive reviews. The staff is rude. The lady that called us back wanted me have my 3 yr old stay in the lobby with my 7 yr old. I told her no way that they both have to come back with me and she proceeded to roll her eyes and be snippy with me. They refused to keep going with my daughters consult if my 3 yr old keep taking off his mask. The assistant was not kid friendly. I definitely won't be coming back.

Love them !! They are so detailed and keep parent and child updated every step of the way, but so quick, each time, my daughters are in and out in maybe 20-25 minutes. Never a long wait. Very nice and clean office. All of the staff are wonderful, my oldest needed dental surgery and they were absolutely amazing through the whole process. I never had a single question go unanswered and I knew she was in great hands. Both of my littles are sometimes anxious and nervous with new people, but both felt comfortable right away. They are so patient with squiggly littles. I could not ask for better.

They were quick but detailed. I loved the patience they had with my shy kid and the different options they give you if your child needs dental work. The office itself had a good vibe and I can appreciate them keeping you with the same dentist you build a rapport with. I would definitely recommend to everyone.

We love Olentangy Pediatric Dentistry! All three of my kids go there and every single employee is fabulous! I am very careful with who my kids see for healthcare purposes, so the fact that we've been going here for many, many years (and have no desire to go anywhere else) speaks volumes. They are the best!
