• Primary dentition has 20 teeth
• For every 6 months of life, approximately 4 teeth will erupt
• Lower teeth usually erupt before upper teeth
• The teeth in both jaws usually erupt in pairs – one on the right and one on the left
• Primary teeth are smaller and whiter than the permanent teeth that will follow
• Girls generally go before boys in tooth eruption
• By the time a child is 2 to 3 years of age, all primary teeth should have erupted
• Shortly after age 4, the jaw of the child begins to grow, creating spaces between the primary teeth
• That provides the necessary space for the larger permanent teeth to erupt
• Between the ages of 6 and 12, a mixture of both primary teeth and permanent teeth exist in the mouth
