How old are your teeth?

The tooth replacement begins at the age of 5-7. It

usually starts at around 6 years old, but the time of tooth replacement may vary for each child. Some children may start to replace their teeth earlier than 5 years old, while some children may be late to 7 years old or even later. Generally, they start to replace their mandibular anterior teeth first, then the maxillary anterior teeth, and then the teeth on both sides.

During tooth replacement, children need to increase fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits, etc., which help promote chewing, stimulate jaw development, and are beneficial to the eruption and arrangement of permanent teeth. At the same time, they should control the intake of sweets to reduce the occurrence of dental caries. And teach children to brush their teeth correctly, use flossing, etc., regularly take their children for oral examination and cleaning, and timely detect and deal with oral problems to ensure that the tooth replacement process goes smoothly.
