Zusammenfassung:A processing arrangement and method for providing guidance in relation to permanent tooth emergence of an infant. Embodiments propose to process an obtained indicator of tooth mobility of a primary (infant) tooth with a pre-determined algorithm or decision tool, and generate a prompt relating to possible adult tooth emergence dependent upon an outcome of the algorithm or decision tool. The prompt may be a recommendation to check for adult tooth emergence at a site of the relevant tooth. The prompt may be a prediction or estimate of a permanent tooth emergence status.
