DENTITION (TEETHING)

It is defined as the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth. It is also known as eruption of teeth from gums in a baby. The typical time for appearance of teeth is usually between sixth to ninth months, but it may vary on child to child. Usually, the first tooth to erupt is one of the lower, central incisors. As the tooth penetrates the gums, the area may appear slightly red or swollen over the tooth. Some teeth may be more sensitive than others when they erupt.

Deciduous teeth or milk teeth tend to emerge sooner in females than in males. The exact pattern and initial starting times of teething appear to be hereditary. They are 20 in numbers.
