Fun and exciting news! We have felt (!) and seen our first shiny and sharp little tooth! Wahoo!
Not being a dentist, I can’t tell you which tooth it is, but I am going to make an educated guess. I think it’s the First molar – it’s pretty far back there on her right side, upper jaw.
Here is a chart for normal tooth eruption (www.drgreene.com):
| Eruption of Primary or Deciduous Teeth | ||
| Upper | Lower | |
| Central incisors | 6-8 months | 5-7 months |
| Lateral incisors | 8-11 months | 7-10 months |
| Cuspids (canines) | 16-20 months | 16-20 months |
| First molars | 10-16 months | 10-16 months |
| Second molars | 20-30 months | 20-30 months |
And then from a DS website (http://altonweb.com/cs/downsyndrome/index.htm?page=desai.html):
“Tooth eruption is delayed in timing and sequence.”
So very true!! :)
