A general rule of thumb is that for every 6 months of life, approximately 4 teeth will erupt |
• |
Girls generally precede boys in tooth eruption |
• |
Lower teeth usually erupt before upper teeth |
• |
Teeth in both jaws usually erupt in pairs &ndash |
• |
one on the right and one on the left |
• |
Primary teeth are smaller in size and whiter in color than the permanent teeth that will follow |
• |
By the time a child is 2 to 3 years of age, all primary teeth should have erupted |
