Many
oral conditions of children are not so different from those conditions of
adults. However, continuing growth of the body, and eruption and eventual loss
of primary (baby) teeth during childhood present some special challenges. Also,
a major problem observed in some children is a tremendous fear of health
practitioners, developed by previous bad experience or by unknowing family or
friends. These psychological challenges usually require more special effort for

people have known someone who has needed to have teeth straightened. There are
many reasons why teeth don't develop into normal-appearing and functioning
relationships. Among the most common is the well-known intermarrying of persons

disease is possible today.
Dentistry has taken on the infection control challenge.
Most dental offices are very safe, and you do not have to worry about
contracting a disease from another patient while visiting your dentist.

been related to excellent preventive and therapeutic medical care, public
education about health, improved diet, exercise, and a reduction in smoking and
alcohol consumption. Many people are living into their eighties and nineties
with good health and with the ability to live their lives in a near normal
manner. But 80 years of life takes its toll on your mouth.
