The human being develops two different sets of teeth during childhood: the temporary milk teeth of children and the permanent dentition of adolescents or adults. The milk teeth fulfil their task of biting and chewing in the relatively short time between the age of six months and twelve years. In the period between the age of six and twelve, a child's dentition consists of both milk teeth and permanent teeth. The transition from the milk teeth to the permanent teeth occurs during this period. The dentition during this period is also known as mixed dentition.
