Puhkeamisjärjestys

Puhkeamisjärjestys refers to the order in which teeth erupt into the mouth. This sequence is generally predictable and follows a pattern for both primary (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Understanding the typical puhkeamisjärjestys can be helpful for parents and caregivers in monitoring a child's dental development.

For primary teeth, the lower central incisors are usually the first to erupt, often between six and ten months of age. Following these, the upper central incisors typically emerge. The rest of the primary teeth then follow in a general pattern, with molars, canines, and lateral incisors appearing over the next couple of years. By around age three, most children have a full set of twenty primary teeth.

The eruption of permanent teeth begins around age six, usually with the first molars appearing behind the primary molars. The lower central incisors are often the next to erupt, followed by the upper central incisors. This process continues throughout childhood and adolescence, with the wisdom teeth being the last to emerge, typically in the late teens or early twenties.

While there is a general puhkeamisjärjestys, there can be slight variations in timing from child to child. Factors such as genetics and individual development can influence the exact eruption sequence and age. If there are significant concerns about a child's tooth eruption, consulting a dentist or pediatric dentist is recommended. They can assess the situation and provide appropriate guidance.
