When first teeth fall out, better known as milk teeth, beneath them are starting to grow teeth that will last you for a life time, with exception from third molar, and it usually appear about 20 years of age, but it’s not a strict rule.
Appearing of molar can cause big problems, because all the other teeth are all grown, and in their places, so there is no room for molars, and he pushes other teeth. It grows, like the other teeth in a straight line, but it can start to grow in wrong way, so it should be taken out right away, so it wouldn’t cause more pain.

Because of that, if in the beginning stage we see that this teeth may cause any problems, or it’s growing crooked, we urge to take it out, so it wouldn’t cause any further damage during the growth.
