Permanent teeth Winchester
Permanent teeth are a crucial part of your dental health, and their proper development is essential for a lifetime of oral well-being. At Dentistry at Winchester in Winchester, we understand the significance of permanent teeth and offer comprehensive dental care to ensure their health and longevity.
The eruption of permanent teeth typically begins around the age of six, marking a transition period between primary (or deciduous) teeth and permanent teeth. During this mixed dentition period, your child will have a combination of both primary and permanent teeth. The first permanent molars are among the first to appear, positioned behind the last primary molars. These molars play a vital role in the proper development of the permanent dentition. By the age of thirteen, most individuals will have twenty-eight of their thirty-two permanent teeth.
Completing the full permanent dentition takes time, with the last four teeth, known as the third molars or wisdom teeth, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. These wisdom teeth can sometimes pose unique challenges and may require special attention.
Whether you need routine check-ups, preventive measures, or specialized treatments, Dentistry at Winchester is committed to ensuring the health and longevity of your smile.
