A member asked:
Can a 12 year old's molar affect growth spurts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Molars don't affect growth. But, when teeth erupt is related to growing in children. Meaning, teeth tend to erupt along with growth spurts. Children with delayed puberty have delays in permanent teeth showing up. Children with early puberty have early permanent teeth.
