Deciduous Tooth Eruption

There is little information concerning deciduous tooth eruption pertaining to children of the United Kingdom and Europe. Therefore, data on children from the current longitudinal growth study at the Child Study Centre, London, were examined. For details of this sample, method of recruitment, and investigations carried out, etc., reference may be made to Moore, Hindley and Falkner (1954). Briefly, this unselected sample of approximately 200 children consists of the same 'healthy' children regularly and periodically seen and drawn from an area in London.
