As a child you have 20 teeth. These are your deciduous teeth (baby teeth). These teeth are and will come in at about age:
second molars- 22-33 months
first molars- 13-19 months
canine - 16-23 months
lateral incisor- 9-16 months
central incisor- 6-12 months
As your jaw bone grows you will begin to loose your baby teeth and replace them with permanent teeth. Starting from the back:
3rd molar- 17-21 yrs
2nd molar- 12-13 yrs
1rst molar- 6-7 yrs
2nd premolar- 10-12 yrs.
1rst premolar-10-12 yrs.
canine- 11-12 yrs.
