Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental care of children, addressing their unique oral health needs from infancy through adolescence.

Eruption refers to the process by which teeth emerge from the gums and become visible in the mouth.

Genetic factors can determine the timing and sequence of tooth eruption.
Environmental factors, such as nutrition, can influence dental development.
Health conditions, including systemic diseases or dental-related issues, can also affect tooth formation and eruption.

Also known as "deciduous" or "baby teeth," primary dentition consists of 20 teeth that provide essential functions in a child's oral cavity before permanent teeth replace them.

The process of tooth movement toward occlusion begins at the eruption phase, where each tooth starts to align with opposing teeth for proper bite and function.
