Most children will have 20 baby teeth by the age of 3 years. By the age of early teens most adolescents will have 28 teeth. It is normal to have gaps in the baby teeth. This gives space for the permanent teeth.
From the age of 6 to 7 years the front baby teeth become loose and fall out. Usually the front bottom teeth come out before the top front. Eventually all the baby teeth fall out over the years and are replaced by adult teeth. The process is usually complete by the early teens. Some teenagers may need braces to straighten their permanent teeth.
This may be because plaque has been left after brushing, as plaque is a creamy colour. Sometimes there may be tartar, which is hardened plaque and appears yellow. Tartar can not be brushed off, but can be removed by a professional cleaning by the dentist.
Adult teeth usually appear more yellow in colour compared to baby teeth. Rarely, teeth may have yellow patches that are within the tooth and developed when the tooth was forming.
White spots on baby or adult teeth may indicate early tooth decay. Sometimes teeth have white spots within them which may be due to a history of trauma to a tooth when it was forming.
Permanent teeth naturally appear slightly more yellow in colour compared to baby teeth. Permanent teeth that have been affected when they were forming may have yellow, white or brown patches. This may be due to trauma, fluorosis or other general uncommon medical condition. A dental check up allows bespoke information and advice.
You should bring your child to the dentist from a young age. That way they get used to the environment and are relaxed when attending future visits. The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry recommends children should have visited the dentist by the age of one. After their initial visit, they should attend regularly, as often as recommended by the dentist.
Baby teeth usually start breaking through the gums at around 6 months of age. The teething process may continue on until about 2–3 years by which time they will usually have 20 baby teeth.
Growing teeth can often cause discomfort. Chilled teething rings may help soothe the sore gums. Do not place anything sweet on the teething ring. Dummies should also be avoided as they can become a habit that can affect the alignment of teeth.
Adult teeth start growing from around the age of 6 to 7 years. Baby teeth begin falling out and are replaced by adult teeth. This process is usually complete by the early teens.
Parents/carers should brush or supervise toothbrushing.
