Teeth begin forming in children very early in life, as
early as the first month of the second trimester of pregnancy. That is why it
is so important for pregnant women to follow a proper diet. It is not only to
have a healthy baby, but to ensure the proper formation of the teeth. When the
hard tissue (the future enamel) of the tooth is forming, minerals and nutrients
are taken up by the teeth and incorporated into the structure of the enamel.
Good nutrition makes the teeth stronger. Poor nutrition can interfere with
proper enamel formation. Eat wisely. Consult your physician about needed
vitamin supplements and before taking any medications.
This reference will help you know when baby teeth,
also called deciduous teeth, are due to
come in and eventually fall out, as the permanent teeth come in. Girls' teeth
usually come in before boys' teeth. There is a 6 to 8 month leeway that is
considered a normal variation on either side of the age the teeth come into the
mouth. Some children might get teeth even earlier or later than that. It
depends on their growth patterns. We hope to see teeth come in later, rather
than earlier. If the teeth come in later, there is a good chance the mouth will
be bigger so the teeth have the necessary room to come in straight. The older a
child is when he gets a tooth, the more hand skill he will have for brushing
and flossing the tooth to keep it clean and disease-free.
The normal child dentition will have 20 baby teeth.
Adults typically have 32 teeth, although there is evidence that many adults do
not have tooth buds for the 4 wisdom teeth.
Primary Teeth
Primary teeth start forming at 4 to 6 months in utero,
the second trimester of pregnancy. After the baby is born, the teeth continue
to grow and erupt into the mouth.
