The first 'adult' molars come through at around 6years of age, the next lot at about 12yrs & the last lot (if they make it past the gum line) are the wisdom teeth which come between the ages of 17 - 21 generally. For a 3D model & a good stage by stage description please refer to the related link.
A first molar is a tooth used mainly for chewing or grinding food, a function often referred to as mastication. Adults and older children usually have four first molars in their mouths. In adults, a first molar is the sixth permanent tooth in both sides of the upper and lower jaw. For children, a first molar is typically the fourth deciduous (or baby) tooth in both sides of the upper and lower jaw. In babies, first molars usually appear between the ages of 13 to 19 months.
