Tooth Exfoliation and Eruption Quiz

  • First permanent tooth eruption age: 6-7 years
  • First permanent teeth to erupt: Maxillary central incisors
  • First permanent molars calcification age: 6-7 years
  • Deciduous dentition eruption order: ABDCE
  • Maxillary permanent dentition eruption order: 6,1,2,3,4,5,7,8
  • Molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) identification: Knowing the eruption/exfoliation sequence helps with identifying anomalies like MIH. This is true.
