Detailed explanation-1: -Between the ages of about 6 and 7 years, the primary teeth start to shed and the permanent teeth begin to come through. By the age of about 21 years, the average person has 32 permanent teeth – 16 in the upper jaw and 16 in the lower jaw.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common term for IOM practice is Ebinyo which is derived from the Bantu-languages and loosely translates to “false teeth.” Infant oral mutilation is where un-erupted teeth, usually in the position of canines, are gouged out by a non-formally trained person.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why Do Children Lose Baby Teeth? Baby teeth are basically “placeholders” for adult, or permanent teeth. Around the age of four, the bones in your child’s jaw begin to grow. You may see spaces develop between your child’s teeth, which are necessary to make room for the larger permanent teeth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Babies aren’t actually born without teeth; in fact, they are born with 20 baby (primary) teeth that just haven’t appeared (erupted) yet. Teething starts at around 6 months when baby teeth will begin erupting and continue to 3 years of age. Usually, the first teeth to erupt are the bottom front teeth (incisors).
