This document discusses the development of teeth over four periods: pre-dentition, primary dentition, mixed dentition, and permanent dentition. It describes the key developments that occur in each period, including the eruption of baby teeth and permanent teeth. For example, in the primary dentition period, the first teeth begin erupting around 6 months of age and the set is complete by 2.5-3.5 years. In the mixed dentition period, the first permanent molars erupt around age 6 and both primary and permanent teeth are present.
