WHEN DO BABY TEETH APPEAR?

WHEN DO BABY TEETH APPEAR?

Baby teeth, also known as primary teeth, typically start to appear when a baby is around 6 months old. However, the timing can vary and it's not uncommon for teeth to appear as early as 3 months or as late as 12 months. There are typically 20 primary teeth in total, and they will all have come in by the time a child is about 2-3 years old.

Sure! Here is a general timeline for when baby teeth typically appear:

• Around 6 months: Lower central incisors (bottom front teeth)
•  
• Around 8-12 months: Upper central incisors (top front teeth)
•  
• Around 10-16 months: Upper and lower lateral incisors (teeth next to the central incisors)
•  
• Around 16-22 months: First molars (back teeth used for chewing)
•  
• Around 20-30 months: Canines (sharp teeth used for tearing food)
•  
• Around 25-33 months: Second molars (back teeth used for chewing)

It's important to remember that every child is different, so the timing of tooth eruption can vary. If you have concerns about your child's teeth development, it's always a good idea to consult with a pediatrician or a dentist
