When Does TEETHING Start? (Baby Teeth 101)

By Regency Dental Group Includes video

Let's talk about WHEN baby teeth come in and fall out, as well as when adult teeth come in! Baby teeth come in at different times for different infants. Baby teeth typically start to appear between 6 and 10 months of age, with the lower central incisors (front teeth) usually being the first to emerge. As a general rule, a girl’s baby teeth will typically come in sooner than boys. What baby teeth come in first? It will almost always be the bottom two front teeth, followed by the teeth on either side of them. You can typically expect to see about four teeth come in every six months. They erupt in pairs, with a partner on the right and left side of your child’s mouth. When do baby teeth come in? We'll also talk about teething tips to keep your baby comfortable during teeth eruptions!
