Protect your child's teeth with fluoride. Use fluoride toothpaste. If your child is younger than age 6, watch your child brush their teeth. Make sure your child only uses a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and always spits it out rather than swallows it.

• Molars (8 total): Flat teeth in the rear of the mouth, best at grinding food. • Wisdom teeth or third molars (4 total): These teeth erupt at around age 18, but are often surgically removed to prevent displacement of other teeth. The crown of each tooth projects into the mouth.

A child's baby teeth (primary teeth) begin to loosen and fall out to make room for permanent teeth at about age 6. The first baby teeth to fall out are typically the two bottom front teeth (lower central incisors) and the two top front teeth (upper central incisors), followed by the lateral incisors, molars and canines.

In the universal tooth numbering system, tooth number 1 is the patient's upper right third molar, on the right side of the mouth in the upper (maxillary) jaw. Numbering of teeth continues along the upper teeth toward the front and across to the last molar tooth back on the top left side (number 16).

Molars typically fall out between ages 9 and 12 and are replaced by permanent teeth by about age 13. Baby teeth usually stay in place until they are pushed out by permanent teeth. If a child loses a baby tooth early as a result of tooth decay or an accident, the teeth beside it might drift into the empty space.

In the original system, children's 20 primary teeth are numbered in the same order (from 1 to 20), except that a small letter d follows each number to indicate deciduous (primary) teeth. However, most dentists today use a modified version of the Universal Numbering System for children, with letters instead of teeth numbers.

Human tooth. For other uses of tooth or teeth, see Tooth (disambiguation). The human teeth function to mechanically break down items of food by cutting and crushing them in preparation for swallowing and digestion. Humans have four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, each with a specific function. The incisors cut the food, the canines tear the food and the molars and premolars crush the food. The roots of teeth are embedded in the maxilla (upper jaw) or the mandible (lower jaw) and are covered by gums.
