All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth!
As the holiday season approaches, many of us are reminded of the classic song, “All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.” This catchy tune not only captures the festive spirit but also highlights an essential aspect of dental development. Understanding when teeth are supposed to come in can help parents navigate their child’s oral health journey.
Typically, the first set of teeth, known as primary teeth, begins to emerge around six months of age, with most children having a complete set of 20 primary teeth by age three. These teeth pave the way for permanent teeth, which usually start coming in around age six, with the molars and canines appearing later.
Orthodontic treatment plays a vital role during these stages. If your child’s teeth are misaligned or overcrowded, consulting with an orthodontist can help ensure a healthy smile as they grow.
