The size of baby teeth is suitable for small children, but would be completely inadequate for adults.

These small baby teeth simply do not fit into the proportions of the head and especially the mouth.

The milk teeth start to develop as early as the 7th week of pregnancy. Most children are born without teeth, but the teeth are hidden under the palate and the first ones usually appear when the child is 5-8 months old.

Most children have all 20 baby teeth by the age of three.

The next phase begins with the six-year-old tooth that emerges behind the last milk tooth.

The adult teeth are 32 in total, including the wisdom teeth. Children’s and adult teeth are made exactly the same.

But when children lose a baby tooth and it is rootless to see, it is because the pressure of growing adulthood dissolves the baby tooth from below.
