The maxillary first premolar is one of two premolars that exist in the maxilla. Premolars are only found in the adult dentition and typically erupt at the age of 10–11, replacing the first molars in primary dentition. The maxillary first premolar is located behind the canine and in front of the second premolar. Its function is to bite and chew food.
