Primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, are the first set of teeth that children develop and eventually lose. They are smaller in size and serve as placeholders for the permanent teeth. Secondary teeth, or permanent teeth, are larger and meant to last a lifetime. Primary teeth help with chewing, speaking, and maintaining proper alignment for the permanent teeth. Secondary teeth are essential for proper chewing, speaking, and maintaining overall oral health.
