TEETHING

From the cradle to the grave, teeth can pose impossible problem.

Baby teeth carry ancestral inherited disease taints and it is for this reason that when babies go through teething they can often feel very distressed and miserable, depending on the tooth that is growing/ coming through and the inherited disorders that the teeth carry. 

 When the baby teeth fall out, often the child will experience  a growth spurt and a healing process  depending on which tooth it is 

When will my child's teeth come in? While every child is different, most of the primary teeth (baby teeth) come in between the ages of 4 and 12 months. The following are general guidelines for the eruption of the baby teeth:

  The first tooth to erupt is usually a middle, front tooth on the lower jaw, known as the central incisor.

  This is followed by the second central incisor on the lower jaw.

  Next, the four upper incisors usually come in.

  Then come the first four molars, and the remaining bottom two lateral incisors. (Lateral incisors are beside of (lateral to) the central incisors.)

  Then the cuspids, or the pointed teeth, appear.

  Usually, after the child reaches 2 years old, the four second molars (the last of the baby teeth) appear.

  The teeth on the upper jaw usually erupt one to two months after the same tooth on the lower jaw. There are a total of 20 primary teeth. Usually, about one tooth erupts per month once the teeth have started coming in. There is normally a space between all the baby teeth. This leaves room for the larger permanent teeth to erupt.

  Eruption of teeth happens at different times for each child.
