Is there any way to tell the age of a person by looking at their teeth?

Yes, there are several ways to tell the age of a person by looking at their teeth. One method is to look at the number of tooth surfaces that have been lost due to wear and tear over time. The more tooth surfaces that are missing, the older the person will be. Another way to estimate someone’s age based on their teeth is by counting the number of permanent teeth they have in each jaw. Teeth start forming in children around 6 years old, so if someone has all of their permanent teeth, then it is likely that they were born before 6 years old.
