First Permanent Molars.


The first permanent molars are the
four large back teeth that appear in
the child's jaws when he is about
six years of age. They are commonly
called six-year molars. They are
permanent teeth, not baby teeth.
They should remain throughout life.
The first permanent molars act as
guideposts to the permanent teeth
which come in on either side of them.
If the first permanent molars are
lost, the teeth that come in later
will be shifted out of their normal
positions. Even the front teeth and
"the bite, so large factor in good
appearance, may be affected if the
back teeth are not all retained.
If child loses one or more of his
first permanent molars after his Sec
ond permanent molars have come
in, he should have space retainers
put in to keep the teeth in their
proper positions until permanent
bridges can be built into the spaces.
This will maintain the natural con-
tours of the face.
The first permanent molars may be
the only chewing teeth the child has
for a while. The average child sheds
his baby molars between nine and
II years of age, but his second per-
manent molars may not erupt until
he is IL years old or more. His food
chewing powers are likely to be seri-
ously hampered if his first perma-
nent molars are lost.
Unfortunately, many children's first
permanent molarS have small defects
in them when they erupt. These de-
fects are too small for the child or
his parents to notice, but they are
easily found and corrected by dem
fist. The child should therefore al
ways be taken for a dental exami-
nation as soon as his first permanent
molars erupt. These are the most
important teeth we have, yet more Of
them are lost through neglected de-
cay than any other teeth of the per-
manent set. :,
