Coloured X-ray of childs skull and tooth eruption
Skull of a child. Coloured X-ray of the skull of a child, in side view. In the jaw can be seen the eruption of permanent teeth from the milk teeth. The face is at right. At top is the curved, rounded cranium of the skull which houses the brain. Cervical vertebrae of the neck are visible. Cavities of the nose are seen. The jaw houses numerous teeth (red) that can be seen positioned in different layers. These permanent (secondary) teeth are erupting to replace smaller milk (deciduous) teeth. Tooth replacement in children occurs between 6-12 years of age

Child Erupting Eruption Teeth Teething
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray of a child's skull, providing an extraordinary glimpse into the intricate process of tooth eruption. The side view reveals the jaw, where permanent teeth are emerging from their milk counterparts. Positioned in different layers, these vibrant red teeth symbolize the transition from childhood to adolescence. The face rests at the right side of the image, while above it lies the curved and rounded cranium that houses the remarkable human brain. In addition to this fascinating display, one can also observe the cervical vertebrae of the neck and cavities within the nose. Teeth play a vital role in our lives, not only for chewing but also for aesthetic purposes. As we grow older, our bodies undergo significant changes, including tooth replacement. This natural phenomenon occurs between 6-12 years of age when children bid farewell to their deciduous or "milk" teeth as they make way for stronger and more durable secondary teeth. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous stage in human development through this exceptional photograph print. It serves as a reminder of both our biological complexity and our capacity for growth and change throughout life's various stages.
