primary teeth start to form during the embryo phase of human life. the development of primary teeth starts at the sixth week of tooth development as the dental lamina. this process starts at the midline and then spreads back into the posterior region. by the time the embryo is eight weeks old, there are ten buds on the upper and lower arches that will eventually become the primary (deciduous) dentition. these teeth will continue to form until they erupt in the mouth. in the primary dentition there are a total of twenty teeth: five per quadrant and ten per arch. the eruption of these teeth ("teething") begins at the age of six months and continues until twenty-five to thirty-three months of age during the primary dentition period. usually, the first teeth seen in the mouth are the mandibular centrals and the last are the maxillary second molars.

the international standards organization designation system (iso system) by the world health organization notation system is widely used by dental professionals internationally to associate information with a specific tooth. based on the fédération dentaire internationale (fdi), it is also known as iso 3950 notation. thus the iso system uses a two-digit numbering system in which the first digit represents a tooth's quadrant and the second digit represents the number of the tooth from the midline of the face. for permanent teeth, the upper right teeth begin with the number, "1". the upper left teeth begin with the number, "2". the lower left teeth begin with the number, "3". the lower right teeth begin with the number, "4". for primary teeth, the sequence of numbers goes 5, 6, 7, and 8 for the teeth in the upper right, upper left, lower left, and lower right respectively. when speaking about a certain tooth such as the permanent maxillary central incisor, the notation is pronounced “one, one”. beware of mixing up the teeth in written form such as 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 between the universal and iso systems.
