Tooth development begins at approximately 6 weeks in utero. The fetus will develop 20 primary/baby teeth, and from these primary teeth, the permanent adult teeth with form (32). These are the only teeth we will form.

Primary canine teeth erupt at approximately 16-18months of age and the root is completed formed at around 3.5 years of age. If these primary canines are prematurely lost (due to trauma or decay) they will not reform.

A permanent/adult upper canine erupts at 11-12 yrs of age and the lower canine at 9-10 yrs of age. If these permanent canines are lost, the will not reform.

If a primary tooth is lost prematurely is best to seek the advice of a dental professional to ensure this loss does not disrupt the normal eruption pattern of the permanent tooth.

If a child's primary canine is lost due to the normal growth & development process then a permanent canine will erupt in its location. If a permanent canine has not erupted, then it is best to seek professional advice to determine the cause.
