The mouth of a child is a terrifying thing to behold

I don’t know how I feel about this. :expressionless: I’m like… :S

but evolution is true :snooty:

Can anyone explain the ontogenetic process for this? do the bones ossify later?

Really, you guys never imagined that? I kind of knew that without ever looking.

I believe that new born will not have two rows but only one. It's later on the birth of upper row that will start pushing the baby teeth out from the gum and continue to grow till the adult tooth pushed the whole baby tooth out, one at a time.
