“A child’s mouth is a busy place, and everything in the body is growing in the early years, including the bones in the jaw and face. Around age 6, the first permanent molars appear, followed by the loss of baby teeth as permanent teeth come in. Typically, this happens in a predictable, particular order, but problems with dental development can arise without warning.

The gums hide about two-thirds of each tooth and the bone that holds the teeth in place. This allows the gums to mask conditions that interfere with the emergence of teeth, making it important to schedule an orthodontic appointment before all permanent teeth are in.

Early or late loss of baby teeth can signal a problem and cause trouble with chewing, biting, or speaking. Waiting to address these issues until a child has all their permanent teeth could complicate the treatment process.”

Waiting until all permanent teeth are in could be too late for some orthodontic treatments. Learn why the AAO recommends an initial screening by age 7 to monitor jaw growth and catch potential issues before they become complex.
