I have a dentist quote that uses letters for teeth names instead of numbers. what numbers do the letters = ?

Question:

I looked on line everywhere, but the only teeth definitions I can find are the actual names or the # of the tooth. My daughter is having work done, and I want to look up exactly what they want to do, but this pediatric dentist has listed the teeth to work on with letter codes instead of numbers or names, like other quotes I have seen. She is having work on E, F, P, and D teeth. I need to know what tooth or tooth number these letters are.

Answers:
Primary dentition (baby teeth) are called by letter instead of number. D, E, and F are (from the right) the top lateral incisor and the two centrals. P is the lower right central incisor. This picture may help.

It's her Molars----I have alot of money invested in my daughters teeth

You normally get only 20 primary ( baby) teeth, so dentists sometimes use A through T on their charts.

Start at the tooth on the patients right side, upper arch, then drop to the lower left and go back to the right

E & F are the two upper front teeth, D would be the upper tooth on the patient's right of these.
P would be the lower tooth just to the ( patient's ) right of the midline.

I spent lots of time chairside, but not too much with kids...so I won't be offended if a DDS or DMD corrects me if necessary.
