ABSTRACT… Objective: To find out the eruption timing of the first deciduous tooth and the factors affecting its eruption timing. Study Design: This study is hospital based. Setting: Lahore and Rajana. Period: 07.01.2016 to 28.08.16. Material and Method: All the participating children are from 05 months to 13 years age. In this study, information about children's first deciduous tooth eruption, mode of feeding, nutritional status and the family's socioeconomic status is taken from their mother. The data is fed in SPSS for window V 16.0 and calculated the average age at which the first milk tooth is erupted. Result and Conclusion: A total of 170 children from both genders were scrutinized. The first deciduous tooth eruption in our study was found to be the mandibular central incisor at the mean age of 8 months (7.86). Girls get early primary dentition than boys, breast and non-breast feeding bears no difference and children from low socioeconomic group have early primary eruption.
