Most children start to get their adult teeth at about six years of age.
However, some children don t get their first adult tooth until after they are seven. When your child gets his new teeth, it s important that your dentist determines with x-rays that all of the other adult teeth are growing in the jaw, looks for bite problems, and determines that all the teeth are clean and healthy. Usually, we see the lower front incisor or the molar teeth first. It is strictly the opinion of the author and is meant to be informative, not to imply a standard of care. All rights reserved.
