Detailed explanation-1: -Deciduous teeth are also called children’s teeth, baby teeth or first teeth. Deciduous teeth are smaller and whiter than permanent teeth. We only have 20 deciduous teeth. They start to erupt when we’re around 6 months old, and are usually all through when we’re 29 months old.
Detailed explanation-2: -Humans have two sets of teeth during their lifetimes: the deciduous teeth, which are also known as the primary dentition, and the permanent teeth, which are known as the secondary dentition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deciduous teeth-also known as baby teeth, primary teeth, or milk teeth-are your first teeth. They start developing during the embryonic stage and start to erupt through the gums about 6 months after birth. All 20 of them are typically in by age 2½.
