Children’s Teeth

Children’s baby teeth (milk teeth) are important for many reasons including the routine activity of chewing and speaking. They also play an important role in maintaining space for permanent teeth developing underneath them in the jaws. If the baby teeth (milk teeth) are well taken care of, then it is more likely that the permanent teeth will grow into their correct position. A rare fact that people don’t know is that children's teeth start forming before birth and they are called infant teeth. Babies in the womb have about 20 teeth developing already. Usually, at 6-7 months or in the earliest case around 4 months the first infant teeth start to erupt, in the lower central incisors, followed closely by the upper central incisors. Although 20 milk teeth usually appear by age 3, the pace and order of their eruption differ. The first permanent tooth is normally one of the four six-year-molars named because they show up around age 6. Molars are vital because they help shape the lower portion of the kid’s face and also influence the position of the other permanent teeth. A word of caution: The 6-year permanent molars are often confused as milk teeth & most often it has been neglected. Permanent second molars usually appear around age 12. At a time, teeth of kids will have a complete set of permanent teeth except for the wisdom teeth or third molars which usually appear between age 17 and 25. Special attention should be paid to your kid's teeth during the teen years, as it is during these years that most decay occurs.
