There are 3 types of baby, or deciduous, teeth. The first are the incisors, just like the permanent incisors we have 4 upper and 4 lower, that are designed to tear our food. Basically that is what the canines are for as well, the second type. The third type of teeth are the molars, again like our permanent teeth they are designed to chew or masticate our food. The adult premolars or bicuspids will erupt into the position of the baby molars. Our permanent molars erupt behind those starting at about the age of 6. The second set of molars follows, and our third set known as wisdom teeth erupt at about age 18. Some people feel baby teeth are our practice teeth, but it is probably more accurate to say we were designed to have two sets for our growth.
