I am getting a new molar

I haven't been eating very much lately. I haven't even been eating my favourite - omelettes. My grandma thinks it's because I am getting a new molar. Below is a diagram of the where the new molar has come in. Click here to read about the average order of appearance of teeth. Below is a little summary though:

The average time and usual order of appearance is

* Four central incisors (cutters) start appearing at around 6-7 months
* Four more side incisors appear at around 8 months
* Four back molars (chewing teeth) appear at between 10-14 months
* Four canines (pointed teeth) appear at around 16-20 months.
* Four more back molars appear at between 24-30 months.
