Glossary of Terms

Primary teeth
Deciduous teeth. These are the first teeth to emerge and usually appear at about 6-8 months of age. Some children have primary teeth that erupt later than 8 months.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
