Oral Health checks of your teeth, gums and so on

In order to maintain dental and oral health, let’s examine the features of teeth that differ by age group and the precautions for each group, in order to prevent caries, periodontal disease, and other oral problems.

The formation of permanent teeth begins during the fetal stage, and they develop in the jaw over a long period of time. All milk teeth emerge between 8 months to 3 years of age.

This is the period of transition from milk teeth to permanent teeth. Permanent teeth start to replace milk teeth from around the age of 6, and all 28 permanent teeth emerge by about the age of 12.

From puberty to adulthood, the risk of not only caries but periodontal disease (gingivitis, periodontitis) that increases with changes in the living environment. It is recommended that the habit of checking the gums be acquired, so as to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

As a person grows older, their gums become thinner and more teeth will be lost, although there are individual differences. Locations such as the roots of the teeth or under dental prostheses become vulnerable to caries or periodontal disease.
