It’s natural to be concerned about what is normal when it comes to baby’s teeth coming through.
Generally, your child’s first teeth should appear ( (erupt) around six months old. The first teeth are usually the lower front teeth. The next teeth to appear are the upper front teeth.
The lower front side teeth are next and then the upper front side teeth.
It would make sense to have the canine teeth erupt but this is not usually the case. Interestingly, the next teeth are the first baby molars. After these have come through then the canine teeth both upper and lower will erupt. The last to come through into the mouth are the big two year old molars.
There is a wide range of timing for teeth to erupt. Sometimes teeth can come through as early as four months and as late as ten months, so there is no need for alarm if teething starts a little early or a little late.
By aged two to three years old all twenty baby teeth should have come through, and by around age six your child will likely start losing them to make way for their adult (permanent) teeth. Usually the lower front teeth are the first to fall out (exfoliate) and the new adult teeth will come through (erupt).
If you’re worried, it is always a good idea to see a dentist, dental therapist or dental hygienist to make sure everything is ok.
