The loss of baby teeth and the emergence of permanent teeth is a natural and important developmental stage in children. This process lays the foundation for a healthy oral structure, and both children and parents should carefully monitor it. At Dehadent, we ensure that children complete the dental transition safely and consciously.

When Do Baby Teeth Fall Out?

In children, the first baby tooth usually appears around 6 months of age, and the 20 baby teeth are completed by age 2.5-3. These teeth begin to fall out around age 6. The lower incisors are usually the first to fall out.

When Do Permanent Teeth Come In?

• 6-year-old teeth (first molars): The first permanent teeth to appear, appearing behind the milk teeth.
• Between ages 6 and 12: The baby teeth gradually fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth.
• After age 12: The second molars emerge, followed by the wisdom teeth around age 18.

Why Is the Tooth Change Process Important?

• Healthy jaw development
• Proper tooth alignment
• Preventing orthodontic problems
• Supporting speech and chewing functions

Recommendations for a Healthy Transition from Dehadent

1. Don't Force

If a baby tooth is loose but hasn't fallen out, wait for the child to fall out on its own. Forcing it can cause pain and infection.

2. Pay Attention to Oral Hygiene

Extra attention to oral hygiene should be taken during the tooth change process. The area around the newly emerging teeth should be brushed carefully.

3. Follow-up with a Dentist

Every 6 months, a dentist should assess whether the process is progressing properly. This process is professionally monitored at Dehadent.

4. Orthodontic Evaluation

Early intervention may be necessary if the permanent teeth are crooked or spaced out. Planning is carried out in collaboration with orthodontists at Dehadent.
