Deciduous teeth -Deciduous teeth is the term for baby teeth, milk teeth, or primary teeth. Deciduous teeth start developing during the embryonic stage and then commonly begin to come in about 6 months after birth.
There are typically 20 primary teeth — 10 in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw.

Permanent teeth- Adult teeth or permanent teeth come In replacement of the primary teeth. Permanent teeth aid in digestion, speech, and general appearance. There are 32 permanent teeth, with the main difference from primary teeth is that there are 4 premolars and 6 molars in each jaw.
