When a mare is pregnant, she is said to be "in foal". When the mare gives birth, she is "foaling", and the impending birth is usually stated as "to foal". A newborn horse is "foaled". After a horse is one year old, it is no longer a foal, and is a "yearling". There are no special age-related terms for young horses older than yearlings.
Immediately behind the front incisors is the interdental space, where no teeth grow from the gums. This is where the bit is placed, if used, when horses are ridden. Behind the interdental space, all horses also have twelve premolars and twelve molars, also known as cheek teeth or jaw teeth. [2]

The entire tooth will start to form from the crown down to the root. [8] Typically, humans have 20 primary teeth and 32 permanent teeth. [9] The dentition goes through three stages. [10]

The primary teeth typically erupt in the following order: (1) central incisor, (2) lateral incisor, (3) first molar, (4) canine, and (5) second molar.
