BABY TEETH

On average, a babys front teeth break through the gum line at six to eight months of
age. Followed by the eruption of back teeth at 18 to 24 months, and teething will continue
until all 20 primary teeth are in place at approximately 2 years of age. The tooth eruption
actually occurs in the following sequence:

1. Two lower front teeth or central incisors between 6 and 10 months.

2. Four upper front teeth or central and lateral incisors between 8 and 12 months.

3. Two upper lateral incisors between 9 and 13 months.

4. Two lower lateral incisors between 10 and 16 months.

5. First upper molars between 13 and 19 months.

6. First lower molars between 14 and 18 months.

7. Four canines or eye teeth next to the upper and lower lateral incisors on either side
between 16 and 23 months.

8. Remaining molars on either side of the existing teeth between 23 and 31 months.

What is the point of baby teeth if they fall out anyway?

The misconception about primary teeth is since they fall out to make room for the
eventual 32 adult permanent teeth than they dont really matter. But the fact is they really do
matter. Essentially, they act as guides for the eruption of the permanent teeth to come. As
guides, their existence is to ensure that permanent teeth enter in the appropriate places. If
baby teeth are lost through decay, there is a greater chance that adult teeth will either be
blocked by other incoming teeth or come in crooked.

Another thing to think about is that if tooth decay is present in baby teeth it can all too
easily be passed on to the developing adult teeth as they break the gum surface. A child
with decay in their primary teeth passes cavity causing bacteria onto the newly erupting
permanent teeth. A good scenario of this transmission of tooth decay happens when the
primary molars, which remain in a childs mouth until 10 or 12 years of age pass cavities to
their neighbors.

Baby teeth also influence the growth and development of the jawbone structure and
facial muscles. More importantly, if the decay spreads to the root and an infection develops,
damage to the permanent teeth lying underneath is possible, not to mention the
accompanying pain.
 COMPOUND SENTENCE
The second type of sentence is the compound sentence. This sentence is composed of
two simple sentences joined together by a comma and a joining word (coordinating
conjunction). We could also describe a compound sentence as two independent clauses
joined by a conjunction.There are seven coordinating conjunctions:

And
But
So
Or
For
Nor
Yet

EXAMPLE :

The computer crashed,so i lost all my work.

The computer crashed = 1st simple sentence
I lost all my work = 2st simle sentence
So = coordinating conjunction

COMPLEX SENTENCES
Clauses are groups of words that form sentences. A clause must contain a subject and
a verb.
There are two types of clauses:

Independent = expresses a complete idea, ie a sentence, and makes sense all by

itself
Dependent = does not express a complete idea, it is a part sentence, and does
not make sense by itself).

Dependent clauses begin with a subordinating conjunction, eg who, when, while, that,
because, since, although.
EXAMPLE :

The company grew quickly the economy was good.

The company grew quickly = independent clause (complete sentence)
While the economy was good = dependent clause with subordinating
conjunction (part sentence)
I like the book that you bought yesterday.
I like the book = independent clause
That you bought yesterday = dependent clause
I try to think positively though Im annoyed.

ADVERB CLAUSE
Adverb clauses are clauses that function as adverbs. Since they are dependent
clauses, they must have a subordinating conjunction to connect them to the other clause.
Subordinating conjunctions can be arranged according to the purpose of the clause they
begin. Here are some examples of subordinating conjunctions:

Time: after, when, until, soon, before, once, while, as soon as, whenever, by the time
Condition: if, whether or not, provided, in case, unless, even if, in the event
Cause and effect: because, as, since, so, in order that, now that, inasmuch as
Contrast: though, although, while, whereas, even though

Functions of Adverbs

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.

They tell why, when, where, how, how much, and how often an action occurs.
They can begin a sentence that is a question, and give more information.

Examples of Adverb Clauses

Adverb clauses can modify by telling the place, time, cause, and purpose of an action.
They can also show concession and condition. Basically they answer the questions:
Where?, when?, why?, and under what conditions? Here are some examples with the
adverb clause underlined:

Place: Wherever there is music, people will often dance. If you know where they live,
you can drop in for a visit.
Time: After the chores are done, we will eat ice cream. When the clock strikes
midnight, she has to leave.
Cause: She passed the course because she worked hard. Since he has long hair, he
wears a ponytail.
Purpose: So that he would not ruin the carpet, he took off his shoes. He ate
vegetables in order to stay healthy.
Concession: Even though you are 13, you cant go to that movie. Although you gave
it your best, you did not win the match.

Condition: If you save some money, you can buy a new game. Unless you hurry, you will be
