This article seems exclusively concerned with humans beyond a brief mention in the first sentence. Don't many kinds of mammals have deciduous teeth? [[User:Ace of Sevens|Ace of Sevens]] 11:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC) |

The article claims that "By age twelve there are only permanent teeth remaining." but this isn't always so, and is only one of many potential timelines. I prefer the way it is explained in the article for Permanent Teeth; "The last permanent tooth usually arrives at around 18 years of age, but this can vary greatly between individuals." |

FYI: I'm 22 and still have a couple deciduous teeth rattling around! |

Be Careful Not to Generalize
The article claims that "By age twelve there are only permanent teeth remaining." but this isn't always so, and is only one of many potential timelines. I prefer the way it is explained in the article for Permanent Teeth; "The last permanent tooth usually arrives at around 18 years of age, but this can vary greatly between individuals."
FYI: I'm 22 and still have a couple deciduous teeth rattling around!
