Tandudbrud

Tandudbrud refers to the process by which teeth emerge from the gums and enter the mouth. This phenomenon typically begins in infancy and continues through childhood and adolescence, with the appearance of both primary (baby) teeth and permanent (adult) teeth. The timing and order of eruption are generally predictable, although there can be individual variations.

The eruption of primary teeth usually starts around six months of age, with the lower central incisors often being the first to appear. These are followed by the upper central incisors, lateral incisors, and molars. By the age of three, most children have a full set of twenty primary teeth. These teeth are crucial for chewing, speech development, and guiding the eruption of permanent teeth.

Permanent teeth begin to replace the primary teeth around the age of six, starting with the first molars and central incisors. This process continues for several years, with wisdom teeth typically erupting in late adolescence or early adulthood, though not everyone develops all four. Disruptions in the normal eruption pattern can lead to various dental issues, such as overcrowding, misaligned teeth, or impaction, where a tooth fails to emerge properly. Dental professionals monitor tooth eruption to ensure proper development and address any potential problems.
