Teeth For Life

At birth, infants usually have 20 primary (baby) teeth in development, which usually begin erupting through the gums around six months of age. These teeth are then shed at various times throughout childhood, and are replaced by permanent teeth between approximately 6-13 years of age. Often, third molars (known as wisdom teeth) develop in the middle to late teens, and may require removal.
