Baby teeth chart
A baby teeth chart lets you know when each of your child’s primary teeth, baby teeth, or deciduous teeth will likely erupt and eventually fall out.
The baby teeth chart below provides a general idea of when babies normally obtain their teeth, while the precise age at which a tooth erupts or falls out will vary from child to child.
How Do Baby Teeth Emerge in Order?
Although for some infants a tooth may show as early as 4 months or later than 12 months, teething typically begins between the ages of 6 and 12 months.
The top or bottom row’s central incisors, which make up the two front teeth, typically erupt first. Following these are frequently the opposing front teeth, the first molars, the canines, and finally the opposite front teeth.
Before all of the teeth have come in, teeth typically appear one on each side of the upper or lower jaw, frequently in pairs. All of your child’s primary teeth should have come in by the time they are 2 1/2 to 3 years old.
In place of the infant teeth chart, the table below provides an approximate age range for when each tooth may erupt.
| Upper Teeth | When Teeth Come |
| Central incisor | 8 to 12 months |
| Lateral incisor | 9 to 13 months |
| First molar | 13 to 19 months |
| Canine | 16 months to 22 months |
| Second molar | 25 to 33 months |
| Upper Teeth | When Teeth Come |
| Central incisor | 6 to 10 months |
| Lateral incisor | 10 to `6 months |
| First molar | 14 to 18 months |
| Canine | 17 to 23 months |
| Second molar | 23 to 31 months |
How many teeth do babies have?
There are a total of 20 infant teeth that erupt. There are ten on the top jaw’s upper jaw and ten on the bottom jaw (bottom teeth).
Up to the age of three, your child’s mouth will gradually fill with these teeth.
Then, at the age of 6, your child’s primary teeth will start to fall out to make room for their adult teeth.
Can Teething Hurt Babies or Toddlers?
While teething can sometimes be painless for some infants, it can also occasionally result in moderate irritation, screaming, and even a low-grade fever.
The gums that can swell and become sore around the new teeth when they erupt are largely to blame for the discomfort.
If your infant or toddler is displaying signs of discomfort and you suspect teething may be to blame, speak with your child’s doctor or dentist for specific guidance. You may learn more about how to calm a teething infant here, or you might think about giving your child a teething toy to help.
