Abstract

The tooth is a part of the body’s health system. A tooth can directly or indirectly affect human health. Many diseases and even cardiovascular diseases in premature children are associated with dental diseases. Mothers with severe gum disease and acute gingival infections, the babies who give birth usually have a low weight. We do not feel these connections directly.
The possibility of tooth eruption can be seen from the age of five months, and the first primary teeth that will be erupted are the lower central incisor teeth. Needless to say, the delayed tooth eruption till the age of eight months should not worry the parents. The primary teeth dentition is completed in two to three years in each child. The dentition of the primary teeth is including four primary molars, and the rest are four anterior teeth in each arch. At the age of six, primary teeth starting to be replaced by their permanent teeth that we call the transitional stage, which is a very important stage in childhood.
