What are molars?

Molars are the fatter teeth in the back of your mouth. They look like little tables with bumps on them. Molars are used to grind food. Your first permanent molars come in around age six. Your second permanent molars arrive around age 11. You might be in college when you get your third set of molars! The third molars are called "wisdom teeth." They come in when you are about 18 years old. Once your wisdom teeth come in, you will have 32 permanent teeth.

What are "canine teeth"?
What are incisors?
