(3) to reduce the wage rate of any employee in order to comply with this chapter.

This is the main reason as to why you should never put your age on a resume. Most employer, staffing agencies, etc. will immediately trash any resume with a DOB or age on it to completely avoid all aspects of this law and possible suits against them.

The only exceptions are in State and Federal employers.

I understand in a way kind of, because when you have an office full of young girls it's drama like high school, which is what I don't want. Thats why I want to work there because everyone is mature because there so old! lol. His assistant is 65 and one of his hygienist is 50.

What most people do to get around this is to require certain lengths of experience. He could list job openings as 15 years experience to required get around hiring young people.

But strictly putting an age limit on the job can land him some nice lawsuits.
