The formation of permanent teeth

When you are six or seven years old, your baby teeth begin to undergo some magical changes. A new permanent tooth germ will grow behind the baby tooth. It will slowly absorb the root of the baby tooth, and then the baby tooth will loosen and fall out. This is what we often call "changing teeth"! This permanent tooth germ will slowly grow into a strong permanent tooth, just like the previous baby tooth. The formation of permanent teeth takes longer and will continue until adolescence and even early adulthood. During this time, the mandible will also continue to grow and change so that it can accommodate the larger permanent teeth. As the permanent teeth grow one by one, they will gradually replace the original baby teeth and complete the transition from the child dentition to the adult dentition. There is also a certain order in which permanent teeth grow out, and different teeth will grow out at different times. Maintaining good living habits and oral hygiene habits is essential for the health and development of permanent teeth. Regular oral examinations and advice from your dentist can also help keep your teeth healthy.
