Girl with missing teeth.
There are a total of 32 permanent or permanent teeth that erupt in the human mouth. With the exception of third molars, which survive a few years after all the others, most of them will have receded into the gums by the time a child is 13 or older. As this transition takes place, proper dental care is critical and many children need to make adjustments to what they eat and how they eat it.
general guideline
The boy is missing a tooth.
Children usually grow their permanent teeth in the same order as their baby teeth. They usually come from front to back, with the exception of the first molars, and in general, those in the lower jaw tend to appear slightly ahead of their counterparts in the upper jaw. The order of appearance is usually first molars and central incisors, lateral incisors, canines and premolars, second molars and third molars. It takes about six or seven years for all of them to erupt, not including the third molars.

The central incisors are usually the first to erupt. This usually happens around the age of six or seven, and in most cases, the lower ones appear first. At the same time, as the mouth widens, it makes room for the first molars, which usually appear between the ages of six and eight.
After the first molars and the central incisors come the lateral incisors. Children typically lose the lower ones when they are around seven or eight years old, followed by the upper ones a year later. The mandibular canines also appear around the age of 9 or 10, followed by the maxillary first premolars, also called first premolars, between the ages of 10 and 11. the upper premolars and canines appear when children are around 11 or 12 years old.
After the eruption are the second molars, which usually appear when children are between 11 and 13 years old. The bottom set usually comes first. After that, the children have a short break. They don’t get their third molars until they are between 17 and 21 years old.
Tooth function and feeding problems.
Children begin to lose their baby teeth around the age of 6.
Each type of tooth in the mouth has a specific function to help chew food. The eight incisors, four at the top and four at the bottom, are the ones at the front and cut and bite. The canines, which are close to the incisors, are made to tear, so they are usually pointed. The premolars grind and grind, while the molars help move food around, mixing and squeezing it before it is swallowed.
By age 13, most of a person’s permanent teeth have erupted.
With these clearly defined roles, it is very common for children to have problems with certain types of food at different times. Apples and carrots, for example, can be a problem when the incisors are loose or missing, and later, when the premolars are emerging, chewing the bites well is more of a problem. The fact that children have a mixture of permanent and healthy teeth between the ages of six and 13 can also cause general difficulties, simply because their teeth are not all the same size or height and because chewing on one side can be so different. the other. Sometimes kids need to adjust the way they eat to get things going, and they often need to step up brushing and flossing to keep food particles from getting stuck in the gaps.
The role of the dentist
Most of the time, the adult’s teeth push the baby’s teeth, which are essentially placeholders, out of the way without a problem. Occasionally, however, the first set can develop problems such as cavities, which if left untreated can cause premature loss. Children also sometimes have smaller than normal jaws, which means there is limited room for development. It is important for children to visit the dentist regularly for these reasons, as they can perform routine cleanings and take X-rays to determine if everything is forming correctly. A majority of the professional dental organizations recommend starting or giving very good care because the teeth of milk later can affect the permanent ones, with the general orientation of tracing the children six months later or the appearance of the first tooth of milk, or at the latest when they start school .
Considerations
Not all children develop in the same way. Some begin to get their first permanent teeth at four or five years old, and some still do when they are between 14 and 15 years old. Likewise, molars are a bit fickle: sometimes they show up, sometimes they don’t. Parents don’t necessarily have to worry that their children are a little out of the ordinary, and with proper dental care, any abnormalities that appear can usually be corrected. Therefore, the main thing to keep in mind when it comes to permanent set is that each tooth is coming out straight and working well without pain.
