When do adult teeth come in a childs mouth?

my baby is three, i was just wondering when i should expect him to get adult teeth pushing through? is it a set age ? etc

When do adult teeth come in a childs mouth?
At 5-6 years of age you will notice the 2 bottom front teeth pop through called the permanant mandibular central incisors and the 6yr molars also called the permanent first molars which erupt in all four quadrants of a child%26#039;s mouth (upper right, lower right, etc.) behind the last baby tooth in each quadrant called a 2nd year molar or a deciduous 2nd molar. Get sealants on the permanent molars as they erupt if no decay is present.

Reply:Around 5-6 I believe.
Reply:no set age..they are the teeth that come in after the first ones fall out.
Reply:Starting around kindergarten age,he will lose his teeth front to back for many years--through adolescence.
Reply:the first adult tooth to erupt into the mouth is called the %26quot;6-year molar.%26quot; It is so cleverly called this because it erupts predictably around the age of 6. The lower %26quot;6-year molars%26quot; come in first. After those, the eruption pattern is much more variable. The first adult molar will erupt behind your child%26#039;s last baby molars on both sides of the lower jaw. The lower and upper incisors will follow. Of course, your child has to loose his baby teeth during these eruptions.
