Eruption

Overview

The Eruption module is a dental reference tool used to manage the standard timelines for tooth development. It allows dental staff to record the average age at which a specific tooth comes in (erupts) and when a baby tooth falls out (exfoliates). This baseline data helps evaluate if a patient's dental development is on track.

When Do I Use This?

• When setting up the clinic's standard reference charts for pediatric dental development.
• When you need to log the expected lifespan of primary (baby) teeth versus permanent adult teeth.
