Teeth Eruption and Exfoliation Times

• Tooth development begins with the formation of both primary and permanent teeth in the first month of pregnancy​

• The development of the two sets of teeth is separate from each other, therefore the extraction and root canal treatment of a milk tooth does not stop or destroy the development of a permanent tooth.

• Drugs, chronic diseases, dental-head traumas, and acute diseases that children are exposed to while their teeth are developing can cause permanent deformities in individual teeth, groups of teeth, or all teeth, depending on the time, duration, and severity of their occurrence.

• In summary, teeth permanently carry the effects they are exposed to while developing.

​

Symptoms such as itching in the mouth, redness, hypersalivation, restlessness in the child, reluctance to eat are considered normal for tooth eruption. Disease symptoms in children such as fever, weakness, and diarrhea should be evaluated with suspicion during tooth eruption and possible infection possibilities should be excluded.

Teethers, allowing cold vegetables to be chewed, and finger massage are the primary choices to reduce complaints during tooth eruption. In cases where nutrition is severely impaired, medications to reduce complaints may be recommended according to the dentist's advice.
