How do i know if a molar is a grown-up tooth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
How it looks: The person's age, the location of the tooth, the anatomy of the tooth, and/or an xray of it. It usually takes a dentist seconds to determine it.

Size and age: Most primary teeth are lost by age 12. Sometimes there is not a permanent tooth under the primary tooth so it can remain indefinitely. Primary teeth are usually smaller in size. A dental visit will confirm primary or permanent tooth.
