Throughout your
life, you will have two sets of teeth: primary (baby) teeth and secondary
(permanent) teeth. At age 6-8 months, the primary teeth appear; all
20 are in place by age 3.  Permanent
teeth will begin to grow around age 6, and except for wisdom teeth,
are all present between ages 12 and 14. The next teeth to grow in are
the 12-year molars and finally the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth typically
begin breaking through from age 17 and on. The total number of permanent
teeth is 32, though few people have room for all 32 teeth. This is why
wisdom teeth are usually removed.Your front teeth are called incisors. The sharp “fang-like” teeth are canines. The next side teeth are referred to as pre-molars or bicuspids, and the back teeth are molars. Your permanent teeth are the ones you keep for life, so it is vital that they are brushed and flossed regularly and that periodic check-ups by a dentist are followed. |
