Maxillary primary teeth eruption typically occurs within which months?

• A. 6-10 months
• B. 8-12 months
• C. 12-16 months
• D. 16-20 months

Answer: (B)

Maxillary primary teeth tend to erupt in a set order, with the first teeth to appear in the upper jaw being the central incisors. These upper central incisors typically erupt around eight to twelve months of age. That window best fits the common timing for the first maxillary teeth to come in. By comparison, the earlier six to ten months window usually matches the lower central incisors, while later windows correspond to the subsequent maxillary teeth (lateral incisors, first molars, canines) that erupt after the central incisors. So eight to twelve months is the standard period for the initial maxillary eruption.
