Anytime Now: Textbooks have rigid dates for primary tooth eruption sequences. 8-12 mos central incisors, 9-13 mos lateral incisors, 16-22 mos canines, 13-19 mos 1st molars, and 25-33 mos 2nd molars. However, seldom due children follow textbooks they have never read! these are good guidelines to give you, as the parent. Btw, you should take your child to their 1st dental visit by their 1st birthday.

Soon: Your baby will begin to have teeth very soon. Usually the two lower front teeth come in first followed by the top a short time later. Six months of age is an average for this to begin, but sometimes it takes a little longer. Don't be concerned if you don't see the teeth yet. You probably notice more drooling and chewing on fingers and hands. This is a normal sign of the teething process.

Soon: Some children born w some baby teeth erupted. Some do not get 1st tooth 'till 18 months. But 6-12 months is most usual for 1st tooth. Once tooth erupts, call pediatric dental specialist for 1st cm-up for the same reasons you see a pediatrician. Don't wait until 2-3.
