At about the age of 8 months there is a start in the eruption of the primary dentition through the alveolar gingiva, The first anterior teeth can be seen around the 8th month after birth, and the first posterior tooth can be seen at around 16 months.
The development of tooth can be considered in 2 stages
Formation of crown and root
Eruption of the tooth
The sequence of eruption of primary teeth is based on their development, it is as follows
Central incisor(A) followed by Lateral incisor(B) followed by First Molar(C) followed by Canine(D) and the last Second Molar(E).
A->B->C->D->E->F.
If the sequence of eruption and the ‘fall out’ of the teeth are in the same order.
