tooth eruption chart
Teeth start developing in utero. Baby teeth usually start erupting at 6 months of age and the last baby
tooth erupts at about 2 years of age. At around the age of 6 years, permanent teeth start erupting and
there is a combination of primary and permanent teeth, which is called a mixed dentition.
Adult molar teeth grow behind baby teeth. There are usually 3 sets of molar teeth: 6 and 12 year old
molars, followed by wisdom teeth.
