Can you tell the age of a human by their teeth?

Exact age? No. Approximate age? Absolutely.





There are general patterns to tooth eruption. Therefore, looking at someone%26#039;s mouth can give you a reasonable idea of how old they are. This is especially true for children and young adults because you can look at what primary (%26quot;baby%26quot;) and permanent teeth are already in or coming in, and get a good idea of the person%26#039;s age. This is usually called %26quot;dental age%26quot; because of course, there is some individual variation.





Below is a website that shows tooth eruption charts (primary and permanent teeth) as well as other info like x-rays at different ages.

Infant teeth come in at 4-6 months, lowers always before the uppers. they fill in from the middle, then the back molars and the canines last.





With the permanent teeth, they start to come in at around 6. The 6 year molars, 12 year molars, and 18 year molars (wisdom teeth). This is a general guideline not hard and true but close.





At around 7-8 the front teeth will start to come in, followed by the first premolars at around 9-10, then the canines and second premolars are usually last at about 11-12.





Once all the permanent teeth are in the mouth it is somewhat harder to tell the age of the patient and it depends on a lot of factors. You would have to see what the roots look like, what kind of wear if any, are on the biting surfaces of the teeth. And you can guesstimate how old certain fillings are.
