Development of the Teeth Age 8
This series of pages show the annual development of teeth in the mouth and jaws from childhood to young adult.

This is an example of what is developing inside the mouth of a typical 8 year-old child. The roots of the lower central (center) teeth and the permanent (adult) first molars are almost fully formed. The lateral incisors (the smaller front teeth next to the centrals) are partially erupted and they have many more months to go until they are in their proper position.
