Each one of your teeth is also assigned a number, which makes it easier for an assistant or hygienist to make notes of problem areas while the dentist is looking directly at your teeth. Dentists will call out the affected tooth and the corresponding gum disease number if needed. It is much faster and easier to call out “3 on 15” rather than saying “a level 3 infection on the upper left molar."

Some of the numbers you may hear refer to your gum health. Dentists use a specialized tool to measure how much gum loss you may have experienced. When the gums are inflamed, they also pull away from your teeth and leave an open pocket. The size of the pocket is what dentists are measuring.

As a child progresses, their teeth will continue to poke through in a circular pattern. Front teeth or incisors will be the first to appear, lateral incisors will be next, followed by first molars and canines. An 18-month-old typically has around 7-8 teeth on top and bottom. If your child is eating solid foods, they should have a good number of teeth to make chewing easier and prevent choking. Molars can come in anywhere from 13 months old to 19 months old, and one side (both top and bottom) may come in before the other side.

Babies typically start to teethe around 6 months old, and the first teeth that will poke through are the bottom central incisors. These bottom teeth and the top front teeth should be the first ones you notice your child developing. The range of ages at which babies get teeth will not be the same every time. If your child gets their two bottom teeth quickly but takes a few months to get their top incisors, there is no reason to panic.

While all tooth eruptions will look different for each child, there are times when you should take action or be concerned. As previously mentioned, meeting with a pediatric dentist at any point in your toddler’s development will be worthwhile and can provide peace of mind. If a child hasn’t had any teeth emerge by 18 months, this is when you should become concerned. Meet with a dentist as soon as possible if your child is approaching 18 months without teeth.

Now that you have all the details on how it works, you’re probably wondering about whether or not Invisalign would be practical for you or your loved ones. Fortunately, it costs an amount similar to traditional braces, so you don’t have to worry about any increased costs there. The actual cost will have to be determined by Dr. Paul Porter when you come in for a consultation.
