The appearance of adult teeth

The appearance of adult teeth

Your child will soon be four years old and for some time now, he or she has been offering his or her best smile with all his or her first teeth (or primary teeth) in his or her mouth. They will be in place for a few years, but the formation of adult teeth (permanent teeth) has already begun, deep under the gum.

Gradually, the roots of each of the primary teeth will gradually disappear (this is the reason why the falling baby teeth do not have a root).  The adult teeth will then eventually grow and push the primary teeth to make their way to the gums. Like primary dentition, the growth of permanent dentition varies from tooth to tooth and from individual to individual.

The transition

The transition

We know the importance and role of primary dentition, which motivates us to take good care of it.

For the next few years, from the age of 6 to around 11, your child’s mouth will be in transition and will have both types of teeth (primary and permanent): this is what we call mixed dentition.
