page 19 gives a good description of your term
The journey starts in the womb. While you were pregnant your baby developed tooth buds, the foundation for baby teeth (also called milk teeth). Those buds begin to break through the gum surface sometime between three and 12 months. You'll often see that first tooth -- a tangible sign that your baby's growing up -- around six months, which is usually the time his diet begins to include solid foods. By the time he's three, he'll have a mouthful of choppers that he can begin to brush himself (with a little bit of help from you) -- a basic step on the road to self-care
