In delicate and neurotic children all symptoms may be greatly
exaggerated and may become alarming. There may be fever and acute
indigestion. Diarrhea may become very severe and the child show
marked decrease in weight as a result. If the child is having
difficulty cutting the teeth it is evident that Innate Intelligence
is unable to get the forces to the periphery. In this case the child
should have immediate chiropractic attention. It is not uncommon
for a temperature to run during the time just before the teeth come
through the gums. In such cases a very careful analysis should
be made and the child adjusted regularly until the symptoms have
disappeared.
In the majority of cases when there is incoördination during the
process of dentition it will be found upon careful analysis that
there are conditions responsible for the symptoms other than
difficult dentition and they are only exaggerated by the dentition.
After the teeth have made their appearance care should be taken that
they are kept clean. This may be accomplished by washing the teeth
and mouth.
The eruption of the permanent teeth causes no great disturbance
and there are usually no symptoms connected with their appearance
other than a little discomfort locally. The appearance of the first
permanent teeth do not disturb any of the temporary teeth, since they
develop just posterior to them. These are the six-year-old molars.
Following these we find the incisors displacing the incisors of the
temporary teeth. Then comes the bicuspids taking the place of the
temporary molars. These are followed by the canines which displace
the canines of the temporary set. The next to appear are the second
and third molars which occupy a place back of the canines where room
has been made by the development of the jaw.
The following table is given to enable the student to get at a glance
an idea of the approximate age that the different permanent teeth
make their appearance.
6th year of age First molars just posterior to the temporary
molars.
7th ” ” ” First incisors displacing the former incisors.
8th ” ” ” Lateral incisors displacing the first lateral
incisors.
9th ” ” ” Bicuspids displacing the temporary molars.
11th ” ” ” Canines displacing the canines of the temporary
set.
14th ” ” ” Second molars appearing posterior to the first
permanent molars.
18th to 21st year Third molars or wisdom teeth posterior to second
permanent molars.
