Baby Dental – Two set of Teeth

Saturday, Jun. 12th 2021 5:05 AM

As humans, we have two sets of teeth (primary and permanent) during our lifetime. Many people referred to them as our baby teeth and adult teeth

* Primary Dentition: Is our first set of teeth. These are often referred to as baby teeth. There are 20 teeth in the primary dentition. Even though we do not keep our primary teeth they play a key role in our dental development. So just like adult teeth it is very important to take care of our primary teeth.

* Permanent Dentition: Is our second set of teeth. These are often referred to as adult teeth. There are 32 teeth in the permanent dentition.  Our adult teeth are meant to last our live time, and generally speaking if proper dental habits and care is given you should have no problems maintaining and keeping your adult teeth.
