tooth eruption

Baby teeth appearing

Tooth eruption is the process by which teeth emerge through the gums into the mouth.

In humans, primary (baby) teeth typically erupt between six months and three years of age, while permanent teeth replace them starting around age six and continuing into early adulthood.

The child was fussy during tooth eruption.

Wisdom teeth often erupt last, sometimes requiring extraction if impacted.
