Theres another baby tooth growing behind my last tooth! I'm 12, and I'm supposed to be losing those molars, not growing more! What do I do!?!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
That is perfectly normal - they are actually permanent molars growing in!. I'm surprised you noticed as I don't think most people do!.

You only have 20 baby teeth and 28 permanent teeth (not counting the 4 wisdom teeth that will come in much later)!. All of your baby teeth get replaced with permanent teeth then you have 2 sets of molars grow in that don't replace baby teeth!.

You have a set of 6 year molars (1st molars) and 12 year molars (2nd molars) that grow in!. Chances are you just don't remember the molars that came in when you were 6!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's normal!. It's your second molar!. They are nicknamed "12 year molars" because they come in when you're 12!. They are permanent teeth and you should get them on both sides of your mouth on the top and bottom!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
