Question

Compare briefly primary dentition and permanent dentition

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. These are the first teeth to erupt into the oral cavity. The primary dentition is comprised of 20 teeth. Often these teeth are referred to as deciduous teeth.
2. These teeth will be exfoliated (lost) as the permanent teeth erupt.Primary teeth, also known as our milk teeth or deciduous teeth erupts first at the age of 6 to 7 months old and would usually completely erupt by around the age of 3, in time for a child's facial bone and jaw to grow. Permanent teeth start replacing the primary teeth at about 6 to 7 years old.
