Teething is the process of formation, eruption, and loss of teeth. In humans, teething begins with the eruption of the first tooth (called the baby tooth) at six months of age. Teething continues until age 21, when the last permanent molars are complete.
The first stage of teething begins with the eruption of the first baby tooth, usually at six months of age. This stage is known as the deciduous dentition. The deciduous dentition includes the 20 baby teeth that fall out and are replaced by the 32 permanent teeth. The second stage of teething, known as the mixed dentition, begins at six years of age and continues until 12 years of age. At this stage, children have a mixture of deciduous and permanent teeth. The third and final stage of teething is the permanent dentition, which begins at 12 years of age and continues until 21 years of age.
Tooth formation is controlled by a set of genes. Teeth are formed by dental epithelial tissue, which originates in the forebrain. The forebrain is a structure of the embryo that is divided into two parts: the telencephalon and the diencephalon. The telencephalon is the upper part of the forebrain and is responsible for the development of the brain. The diencephalon is the lower part of the forebrain and is responsible for the development of the brain stem, which includes the midbrain and medulla oblongata.
Teeth are made up of two layers: the outer layer of enamel and the inner layer of dentin. Tooth enamel is made up of an epithelial tissue called primary enamel. Primary enamel begins to form during the third week of embryonic development. Formation of primary enamel is complete by about seven months of age. Formation of permanent enamel begins at about five years of age and is complete by about 12 years of age.
Dentin is formed by an epithelial tissue called odontoblast. Odontoblasts are cells that secrete a calcareous substance that lines the inside of the tooth cavity. Dentin formation begins during the third week of embryonic development. Dentin formation is complete by about 21 years of age.

What are the types of dentition?
There are two types of teeth: deciduous and permanent. Deciduous teeth or "baby teeth" are the first set of teeth that form in humans. They begin to appear at six months of age and fall out at approximately three years of age. Permanent teeth, on the other hand, are the permanent set of teeth in humans. They begin to appear at six years of age and are complete at approximately twelve years of age.
What is primary dentition?
Primary dentition, also known as baby teeth or infant teeth, refers to the temporary teeth that appear in a child's mouth. Primary dentition begins to emerge at about six months of age and is complete by about three years of age. In total, there are 20 primary teeth: 10 upper teeth (the central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, and molars) and 10 lower teeth (the central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, and molars).
What is teething?
Teething is the process of tooth formation. It begins when a baby is born and the baby teeth start to come through. The permanent teeth start to come through when a baby is about six years old.
What are the stages of teething?
The stages of teething refer to the process of teeth erupting into the alveolar bone, and their eventual replacement by permanent teeth. In most cases, primary (or baby) teeth begin to erupt at six months of age, and the process continues until three years of age. As primary teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, the jaw grows and develops so that the teeth fit properly.
What are the symptoms of teething?
Symptoms of teething may include irritability, urge to bite or suck, jaw or gum pain, dry mouth, increased salivation, and skin rashes around the gums.
How can I care for my baby during teething?
To help relieve the pain of your baby's baby teeth, try:
* Rinse pacifier and teething toys with warm water after each use.
* Apply a soothing substance, such as fluoride toothpaste, to your baby's teeth and gums with a cotton swab.
* Offer your baby a rubber teether.
* Feed him soft, cold foods.
* Massage the baby's gums with a finger wrapped in a clean cloth.
* Take your baby to the dentist for a checkup when he or she is 6 months old.
