A child has 20 primary teeth, and normally he would lose all of them. The process starts around the age of 6 and finishes around the age of 12. Sometimes, when one of a few adult teeth are missing, the related primary tooth remains in the mouth, sometimes for a life time.

What is the difference between primary and secondary teeth, and how do they play different roles in oral health?

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.
