Question
During the process of tooth growth, is it usually the upper teeth or the lower teeth that grow first? A friend’s child has developed an early growth of upper teeth, is this a normal phenomenon?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to answer your question: The growth of teeth does not follow a fixed pattern, so whether upper teeth or lower teeth grow first should not be considered a pathological condition and should not cause excessive concern. The order of tooth growth may be influenced by genetic and nutritional conditions, such as calcium deficiency which may lead to changes in the order of eruption. It is recommended that you observe temporarily without being overly anxious. Although growing teeth in order is generally the norm, in reality, many children’s order of tooth eruption may differ from the usual, and as long as the quality of the teeth is good, this situation does not require concern.
