6 year molars come in (one in each "quadrant" of the mouth: upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left) between 5-7 years of age. These molars do NOT replace a baby tooth; they come in behind the last baby tooth What’s so important about the 6-year molars? These teeth serve as anchor teeth for the entire bite. It is usually the largest tooth, with the strongest roots, and has the broadest chewing surface. It also often has very deep and narrow grooves in the chewing surface. They could be his first set of permanent molars, remember to teach him proper dental hygene.

Well, yeah....they are his baby molars. They will come out when his permanent teeth come up.
