Eruption of Teeth

Eruption of deciduous /primary teeth usually starts at five months of age. Symptoms associated with it like fever and diarrhea are normal and self limiting unless any other causes can be established. The following conditions are usually associated with tooth eruption and should be referred to dental personnel: eruption cysts, gingival cysts of the newborn and pre/natal teeth.

NOTE: “nylon teeth” is a myth/belief existing in some traditions. These are conditions associated with the eruption of deciduous/primary teeth
