The first tooth

The dental eruption in children, usually the concern of parents for their ignorance of chronology.

There are small in which the teeth, leaving before or after the usual. There are even babies, at birth who already have a milk tooth in his mouth, a fact that is becoming increasingly common in today.

The milk teeth starts to six months old, and to complete the two years or two and a half years, consists of 20 teeth. The incisors are the first to appear and make between six and twelve months.

Behind them, will the first molar, which emerges between 12 and 18 months, while the second leaves between 24 and 30.

In the period between the emergence of the first and second molar, that is between 12 months and 24, tipping the canines. A breakthrough or a delay of six months is generally irrelevant.

But any change in the timeline should be consulted with the dentist, in order to determine its cause, and if necessary, introduce a treatment in due course.
