At what age do teeth erupt and when do they change to permanent?

The permanent teeth start to erupt around 6 years of age. First the anterior lower incissors and all 8 incissors are changed within 3 years years. At the age of 6 the four first permanent molars appear. The 10 and 12 years old primary teeth are replaced with permanent canines and premolars and also the second molar appears. As for wisdom teeth, they will appear from 18 to 24 years of age.

Why do we need to treat primary teeth?

Primary teeth, or deciduous teeth, are teeth that must be changed during our growth phase and are replaced by permanent adult teeth. The primary teeth are replaced by the permanent at a certain age. Caries on primary teeth increase the risk of tooth loss before its natural end and, when this happens, the neighboring teeth move, occupying the lost tooth’s space and creating misalignments.
When the age at which the tooth must naturally be replaced is reached, the definitive one does not find the space to erupt and could be blocked or grow in the wrong position.
