adult teeth

Replace baby ones

Adult teeth are the permanent set of teeth that replace baby teeth, typically completing their emergence by the early teens except for wisdom teeth.

Humans develop thirty-two adult teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.

Unlike baby teeth, adult teeth don't regenerate if lost or damaged.
