Did you know the skull of an infant already contains all the real teeth ?

It contains the tooth “buds” but that doesn’t look like an infant skull.

@Flenflyys yeah i think i used the wrong word there... i somehow thought infant was the word for kids around 6 years... damn...

Oh, well if this is the skull of a six year old then a lot of those teeth would be falling out anytime with the adult set moving in. It looks like the molars are smaller which would make sense too, because we lose those back teeth around 12 and then the adult molars move in. With wisdom teeth emerging later in the teen years and almost always requiring extraction.

So their size and presence are appropriate for the child’s age.
