Question:
I know baby teeth start to form long before baby is born. When do adult teeth begin to form?
My question is related to 'Dental Fluorosis'. I am wondering since when we should be very careful about the intake amount of fluoride to not to affect the adult teeth of a kid.
If baby teeth are affected by 'Dental Fluorosis', this doesn't mean that the adult teeth are going to be affected automatically, right?
Answers:
When a baby is born they have 44 teeth in some stage of development. 20 are their baby teeth, and the other 24 are part of their adult dentition. During childhood the other 8 adult teeth form.
