diphyodont teething

Posted by Unknown On 7:34 AM
Mammals are diphyodont, meaning that they develop two sets of teeth. In humans, the first set (also called the "baby", "milk", "primary", and "deciduous" set) normally starts to appear at about six months of age, although some babies are born with one or more visible teeth, known as neonatal teeth. Normal tooth eruption at about six months is known as teething and can be painful.
