Cool, TIL. Is that used specifically for teeth or for any medical stuff…appearing (like, from under the skin)?

Non-violently I’d probably go for emerge (like a butterfly from a cocoon), as erupt sound kinda destructive (like a volcano). But I’m no expert, nor native speaker, so I just go by vibes.

I had my wisdom teeth emerge and withdraw back and forth for years - they seem to have settled now, but dont be surprised if yours gets a little shy from all this new attention and goes back into hiding for a bit.

Do you mean erupt as in emerge from the gums, or erupt as in explode/shattered? Because one is probably not great…
