At around a year and a half old, toddlers get their canine teeth, the sharp pointed teeth that come in between the incisors and the first molars. There is often a short gap in teething between when the first 16 baby teeth to come in and the when the last 4 arrive. The sequence baby teeth arrive in can vary from child to child, as can the ages at which the teeth come in.
Baby teeth fall out in roughly the same order as they came in and the process will be gradual, with all baby teeth replaced by age 12 or The overall process of our adult teeth coming in ends years later, in the late teens or early twenties, with the emergence of wisdom teeth. When the process of teething starts there is often visible redness and swelling in the gums. To alleviate discomfort, a baby can be offered a teething ring or a clean, wet washcloth.
A pea-sized amount can be used after three years of age, when all baby teeth are in place. A common problem with baby teeth is baby bottle tooth decay where a sugary liquid prematurely encourages cavities and tooth rot. Most often this is linked to babies that have fallen asleep while sucking on a bottle.
Incisors start developing after this and continue till age 9. Premolars in the upper jaw usually appear at the age of 10 while those in the lower jaw appear between the ages Canines and second molars develop after that.
The process continues until the age of 13 to After this, the child enters the puberty stage. The average age for an individual to acquire all the 32 teeth is believed to be 21 years. In case of a tooth extraction by a professional, it may be weeks before the new tooth grows back. A lot of people from the age group 40 experience the eruption of a third molar set, commonly known as the wisdom teeth. They are the last out of all the teeth to emerge. Many people prefer getting their wisdom teeth extracted to avoid the pain they can cause.
