Teeth replacing baby's

Permanent teeth are the adult teeth that replace baby teeth, typically emerging between ages six and twelve and meant to last the rest of one's life.

Humans develop thirty-two permanent teeth, including molars that have no baby tooth predecessors.

Also called adult teeth or secondary teeth.
