Good morning. I have a question about the loss and growth of teeth. I wonder if all the teeth fall out and grow permanent, or is it not? I had the upper right 4 and 5 removed, the dentist told me that these were permanent teeth, although in my youth my teeth did not fall out from there, or did they grow permanent ones right away? And what about 6 and 7? Are they permanent teeth also from birth or what is it like? Thank you in advance for your answer. Regards.
Milk teeth grow from 5 to 5, fall out and replace them with permanent teeth. 6 and 7 are permanent teeth. They only grow once. Sometimes it happens that there are no permanent or deciduous tooth buds.
