One of the things we parents worry most about and pay the most attention to is our children's teeth. Have the milk ones already fallen out? Do they already have their permanent teeth, are all their teeth in place and are there no problems? Today we talk about teeth in an 8 year old girl or boy.As we always say, teeth do not always appear in the same order for all babies. It is normal for them to begin to appear with a "cut-off" date of the first year. They can start to appear up to the first 12 months and from three months onwards. Once they are three years old, they will be very cute, because his mouth will already have 20 milk teeth. As we have already explained, we insist, some take longer and some take less time.
The last teeth to erupt are usually the second molars, located at the end of the mouth. Teeth will start to fall out from the age of six. First the central incisors will fall out, then the lateral incisors and later the rest. If we stick to the eight years, At this age, both central incisors will have fallen out and the lateral incisors will also start to fall out. If the child is eight years old but closer to nine, it is very likely that the canine and the first molar will also fall out.
An eight-year-old child will be starting to lose his or her first baby teeth
That is to say, By the age of eight, a child will have around 16 teeth; but this always depends very much on each child. These teeth will fall out progressively until the age of 12 or 13. After that, the permanent teeth will begin to appear. It is not advisable to wait for all the teeth to fall out before coming to our orthodontic clinic in Valencia. The best orthodontics is preventive, which analyses your child's mouth to detect future malocclusions.
That's why we always recommend coming as early as possible. In addition, if your children come to see our facilities before the consultation and when they are very young, they will feel more comfortable when they come for a real check-up.
