Understanding Deciduous Teeth
- Also known as primary or baby teeth.
- Total: 20 deciduous teeth (10 upper, 10 lower).
- Eruption typically occurs in the first two years of life.
-
Eruption Timeline
- Central Incisors
- Maxillary: 8-12 months
- Mandibular: 6-10 months
- Lateral Incisors
- Maxillary: 9-13 months
- Mandibular: 10-16 months
- Canines (Cuspids)
- Maxillary: 16-22 months
- Mandibular: 17-23 months
- First Molars
- Maxillary: 13-19 months
- Mandibular: 14-18 months
- Second Molars
- Maxillary: 25-33 months
- Mandibular: 23-31 months
- Central Incisors
-
Eruption Sequence
- Generally, the sequence of eruption is as follows:
- Mandibular central incisors
- Maxillary central incisors
- Mandibular lateral incisors
- Maxillary lateral incisors
- Mandibular canines
- Maxillary canines
- Mandibular first molars
- Maxillary first molars
- Mandibular second molars
- Maxillary second molars
- Generally, the sequence of eruption is as follows:
-
Variability in Eruption Age
- Eruption times can vary significantly among children.
- Genetic factors, nutrition, and overall health influence eruption timing.
-
Signs of Eruption
- Common signs include swollen gums, increased drooling, and irritability.
-
Importance of Monitoring Eruption
- Early detection of anomalies can help manage dental health.
- Establishes a timeline for dental check-ups and care.
