How do teeth grow in humans? The first teeth that will grow in a person’s mouth are known as deciduous teeth among dental practitioners, but are more commonly known as baby teeth.

A human will grow 20 deciduous teeth, but these teeth are not permanent.

After humans grow a bit older after the growth of their deciduous teeth, their teeth will start to fall out to make room for the next set of teeth.

This second set of teeth that grows in are a person’s permanent teeth, and if they are taken care of, they will last the rest of their lives.

When a person grows in their permanent teeth, they will have 32 teeth instead of only 20. Most of these teeth will grow in the back of the mouth.
