Insight into Number of Teeth


Humans get 2 sets of teeth in their lifespan. 
The first set of teeth is called milk teeth/deciduous teeth/primary teeth/baby teeth.
They are 20 in number, 10 in each arch.
They start their development in the embryonic stage and erupt during infancy.
The timing of eruption of teeth may vary from child to child.
But by the time the child is 2 and half years of age he/she would have all primary teeth (20 in number) in their mouth. 
These teeth are spaced (making more space for bigger permanent teeth), more white in color (higher enamel content) and are small in size (to fit a small jaw).
The child will be able to eat all solid food now.
Maintaining a good oral hygiene is very important as there are permanent teeth underneath undergoing development.

The next set of teeth to erupt in the oral cavity is called permanent teeth.
The permanent tooth that erupts first is the first permanent molar at the age of around 6 years. We totally have 32 permanent teeth.
Therefore all primary teeth are replaced by permanent teeth. In addition, we get 3 permanent molars inside quadrant totaling 32 teeth.

CONCLUSION:
We believe that every dentistry must complement the overall general and oral health of the patient. If you already have gum disease, talk with your dentist about the best way to keep it under control.

Diabetes and Dental Health

Diabetes is a condition when your blood sugar level is high. The normal fasting blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dL and less than 140 mg/dL 2 hours after eating food. Pancreas in our body produces a hormone called Insulin which helps the cells in the body to absorb the glucose or sugar in the blood for energy. Diabetes develops either when your body does not produce enough insulin or when your cells become resistant to the insulin produced by your body. There are basically 3 types of diabetes 1.       Type 1 diabetes: When the production of Insulin by our body is insufficient. These patients have to take insulin injections. 2.       Type 2 diabetes: When the body produces insulin but the cells develop resistance and do not absorb the blood sugar available. This is the most common type of diabetes. 3.       Gestational diabetes: Develops during pregnancy, usually goes away after delivery but sometimes may manifest itself as type 2 diabetes after pregnancy.
