Are they less resilient than permanent teeth? Shouldn't that be mentioned, if not just in passing? (I have no knowledge on the subject; this was merely the question I wanted answered when I opened this page.) 82.235.98.252 ( talk) 09:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
This article seems exclusively concerned with humans beyond a brief mention in the first sentence. Don't many kinds of mammals have deciduous teeth? Ace of Sevens 11:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Concerning the last paragraph...
This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. The section or sections that need attention may be noted in a message below. |
I think baby bottle tooth decay can occur with regular milk, not just "sweetened milk"; much of the info is also factually suspect; for example, "milk and water are the only liquids which should be put in a baby bottle" (this is rather circumstance-dependent and very opinion-like) -- this paragraph needs attention from an expert on the subject
The article claims that "By age twelve there are only permanent teeth remaining." but this isn't always so, and is only one of many potential timelines. I prefer the way it is explained in the article for Permanent Teeth; "The last permanent tooth usually arrives at around 18 years of age, but this can vary greatly between individuals."
FYI: I'm 22 and still have a couple deciduous teeth rattling around!
I agree with the guy above... I'm 14 years old and I still have 15 deciduos teeth. Is that a bad thing? 70.107.135.11 03:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)daRoberto
My grandkids are busy getting these out of thier mouths and one has already tried the string tied to the doorknob. Maybe something can be added about how kids pull these out. - Pahuskahey 10:47, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know what hormones initiate this process or if there are already horomones treatment that help grow teeth?
Since the body communciates via hormones, it is possible to "trick" the body with those hormones that initiate the growth of permanent teeth so that adults could grow a new set of teeth too.
I am only suggesting this because there are hormones treatments that could increase eggs release in women, increase muscle size in men, and even change the sexs, so why not grow a new set of teeth?
This is not a moral issue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wxyrty ( talk • contribs) 15:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC).
Where in Wikipedia does one go to discuss interlanguage linking? The Dutch page Wisselgebit (change-bit, I'm guessing there is no English word but it's the time when you have a combination of baby and adult teeth) goes to English page "teething" which is something different (the appearance of first teeth, not change-teeth). There is a German language page, Milchgebiss, which links to this English page (deciduous teeth). Obviously these pages don't match. Where to go to discuss this?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.166.94.1 ( talk) 11:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
fr:Dent temporaire seems to have a lot of info which this article doesn't. AnonMoos ( talk) 18:02, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
The text says: "Similarly, in some Latin America countries they are called Milk Teeth".
Actually it seems to be the case also in much wider range of European languages, other than Spanish (they are called milk teeth in at least German, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Swedish):
Deutch: milchgebiss (milch is milk, gebiss seems to be "the set of teeth").
Français: article seems to indicate that with humans, one speaks of "dent de lait" or "dent lactéale", containing the idea of milk teeth.
Magyar: tejfog (tej seems to xref to milk, fog seems to xref to tooth).
Suomi: maitohammas (maito is milk, hammas is tooth).
Svenska: mjölktänder (mjölk is milk, tänder is teeth).

If there is a cavity in a baby tooth, would it have a major effect on the permanent tooth that is right above it? If it does, how bad does the cavity have to be and how is the permanent tooth affected? 2604:3D08:467E:AFE0:A8:AFE6:6E5A:97D3 ( talk) 22:32, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I stumbled this interesting photograph. All the inchoate permanent teeth are visible but haven't broken through yet. Interesting how they're crammed in all those nooks at odd angles:

"In medieval Scandinavia there was a tradition, surviving to the present day in Iceland, of tannfé ('tooth-money'), a gift to a child when it cuts its first tooth" It has survived to the present day in more countries than Iceland. It is common in all of Scandinavia and presumably in many parts of Europe.

Primary teeth redirects to deciduous teeth. But the phrase primary teeth is missing in the alias list of deciduous teeth, given in the first line of the article. - Just put primary teeth in the first line if it is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.111.10.145 ( talk) 06:52, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
In the last paragraph, the article states "In Prehistoric Britain, lost teeth were commonly burnt to destroy them. This was partly for religious reasons connected with the Last Judgement and partly for fear of what might happen if an animal got them.[clarification needed] A rhyme might be said as a blessing:[16]" Britain's Christianization took place well into recorded British history. If there's a neolithic, Bronze Age, or Iron Age practice involving exfoliated deciduous teeth, there's no place it would have been recorded. There might be archaeological evidence for this, but there would be no inference of the purpose of the ritual as its meaning would have been lost without some record. The Romans might have written about practices in Roman-occupied Britain, but this was before Christianity found a foothold on the island. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8803:4004:100:ada1:cd2:f517:ade3 ( talk) 1 February 2023 (UTC)
