How long should parents brush those first 6-8 baby anterior teeth around the age of 10-12 months?
Does the Bass method also applies to brushing primary teeth?

It is interesting to find that incisor liability and that there is an inconsistent discepancy and unpredicability between a child's incisors and their adult incisors. One cannot correlate the size of the child's incisors to the size of the adult incisors with certainty.

do we have to know the details of the eruption charts? or is that there just for our general reference.

Incisor liability is the size difference between primary and permanant incisors. But I did not hear clearly how it is compensated?

Answer to Tiffany Hsu's question on incisor liability: The extra spacing seen between primary anterior teeth compensates for the bigger permanent incisors.

When parents ask us at what age will a certain tooth erupt, should we take into consideration if the child was premature? (born before the 9 months were completed)
Thanks,

Can anyone shed more light on the concept of the primate space?. Did it serve some evolutionary purpose etc?

Why is it that the average "leeway space" in the mandible(+4.32mm) is almost twice that of the maxillary(+2.4mm)? Does that mean we should see more incidence of crowding in the maxillary permanent teeth?
