Teeth begin to develop

The growth of teeth is amazing, and it begins in the early stages before we are born. Imagine that when we are in our mother's womb, the growth of teeth has already begun. This process requires the close cooperation of epithelial tissue and mesenchymal tissue, like a carefully organized dance. At the beginning, the position of the teeth is determined on the developing oral epithelium. Around the sixth week, small tooth buds begin to form in the mouth. These tooth buds will grow and become stronger to form primary tooth germs. In the following weeks, substances such as enamel and dentin begin to accumulate around the tooth germs, like a layer of hard armor for the teeth. By about the 20th week, the deciduous teeth have fully grown, waiting to show their brilliance in the mouth.
