Children's tooth replacement cycle

Teeth replacement in children follows a natural and predictable cycle, starting with the eruption of primary teeth (often called primary teeth). The first baby tooth usually appears around six months old, and the full set of 20 baby teeth usually appears by the age of three. As children grow, these primary teeth perform important functions such as chewing, speaking, and holding space for the permanent teeth to erupt properly. The tooth replacement process begins around the age of six when baby teeth begin to loosen and fall out to make way for permanent teeth. This transformation continues throughout childhood and adolescence, with the last baby tooth usually being replaced by a permanent tooth by age 12 or 13.
