1. For deciduous teeth it is calledthe“4plus rule” andthe“lower before upper rule”. The “4 plus rule” is shown below:
Deciduous Teeth Eruption Dates
First Incisor (a) 7 months
Second Incisor (b) 11 months
First Molar (d) 15 months
Canine (c) 19 months
Second Molar 23 months
As you can see it is pretty simple. You start from 7 months and add 4 to get the next eruption date and you keep
adding 4. There is a slight twist that the first deciduous molar comes before the deciduous canine but no biggie.
The “lower before upper rule” is exactly that the lower teeth erupt usually 1-2 months before the upper teeth.
Simple.
Permanentdentition:

Upper centralsaround6.5-7 years.
Lowerlateralsaround7-8 years.
Upper lateralsaround8-9 years.
For the rest justremember:
Upper goes1 PM, 2 PM, Canine.
Lowergoesin order:Canine,1PM, 2 PM.
These happenaround10-12 yearsold.
Lowercanine can go around9 years.
