Wikipedia

  1. primary tooth

    Deciduous teeth or primary teeth, also informally known as baby teeth, milk teeth, or temporary teeth, are the first set of teeth in the growth and development of humans and other diphyodonts, which include most mammals but not elephants, kangaroos, or manatees, which are polyphyodonts. Deciduous teeth develop during the embryonic stage of development and erupt (break through the gums and become visible in the mouth) during infancy. They are usually lost and replaced by permanent teeth, but in the absence of their permanent replacements, they can remain functional for many years into adulthood.

  1. primary tooth

    A primary tooth, also known as a baby tooth, deciduous tooth, or milk tooth, is one of the first set of teeth that grow in humans and other mammals. They usually emerge through the gums during infancy and fall out during childhood to be replaced by permanent teeth. There are typically 20 primary teeth that include incisors, canines, and molars. These teeth are essential in the development of the mouth, aiding in speech development, and serving as placeholders for future permanent teeth.
