On average, a babys front teeth break through the gum line at six to eight months of
age. Followed by the eruption of back teeth at 18 to 24 months, and teething will continue
until all 20 primary teeth are in place at approximately 2 years of age. The tooth eruption
actually occurs in the following sequence:
2. Four upper front teeth or central and lateral incisors between 8 and 12 months.
7. Four canines or eye teeth next to the upper and lower lateral incisors on either side
between 16 and 23 months.
8. Remaining molars on either side of the existing teeth between 23 and 31 months.
The misconception about primary teeth is since they fall out to make room for the
eventual 32 adult permanent teeth than they dont really matter. But the fact is they really do
matter. Essentially, they act as guides for the eruption of the permanent teeth to come. As
guides, their existence is to ensure that permanent teeth enter in the appropriate places. If
baby teeth are lost through decay, there is a greater chance that adult teeth will either be
blocked by other incoming teeth or come in crooked.
Another thing to think about is that if tooth decay is present in baby teeth it can all too
easily be passed on to the developing adult teeth as they break the gum surface. A child
with decay in their primary teeth passes cavity causing bacteria onto the newly erupting
permanent teeth. A good scenario of this transmission of tooth decay happens when the
primary molars, which remain in a childs mouth until 10 or 12 years of age pass cavities to
their neighbors.
Baby teeth also influence the growth and development of the jawbone structure and
facial muscles. More importantly, if the decay spreads to the root and an infection develops,
damage to the permanent teeth lying underneath is possible, not to mention the
accompanying pain.
COMPOUND SENTENCE
The second type of sentence is the compound sentence. This sentence is composed of
two simple sentences joined together by a comma and a joining word (coordinating
conjunction). We could also describe a compound sentence as two independent clauses
joined by a conjunction.There are seven coordinating conjunctions:
And
But
So
Or
For
Nor
Yet
EXAMPLE :
COMPLEX SENTENCES
Clauses are groups of words that form sentences. A clause must contain a subject and
a verb.
There are two types of clauses:
Dependent clauses begin with a subordinating conjunction, eg who, when, while, that,
because, since, although.
EXAMPLE :
ADVERB CLAUSE
Adverb clauses are clauses that function as adverbs. Since they are dependent
clauses, they must have a subordinating conjunction to connect them to the other clause.
Subordinating conjunctions can be arranged according to the purpose of the clause they
begin. Here are some examples of subordinating conjunctions:
Time: after, when, until, soon, before, once, while, as soon as, whenever, by the time
Condition: if, whether or not, provided, in case, unless, even if, in the event
Cause and effect: because, as, since, so, in order that, now that, inasmuch as
Contrast: though, although, while, whereas, even though
