How old does a baby start to grow molars?

The baby has been constantly changing since he came out of his mother's belly, from birth to crawling, and then to walking. The baby's growth is a regular process and also has a standard. Some babies develop more slowly. Many parents find that their children have not grown teeth for a long time, so they are very worried, afraid that they are maldeveloped. So how old will the baby be before he grows teeth?

When do children grow teeth? At what age do their baby teeth grow completely?

Although babies do not have teeth in their mouths when they are born, they already have tooth germs in their cheekbones. After a certain period of time, teeth will grow out from the surface of the gums. The process of teeth growing out of the jawbone is medically called tooth eruption, or commonly known as tooth growth.

There is a certain order and approximate time for tooth eruption. The deciduous lower incisors begin to emerge 6-8 months after birth, and all 20 deciduous teeth will grow in by the age of two to two and a half. Because each child's development is different, some may be earlier and some may be later. If the teeth are not visible after the child is one year old, you should ask a doctor to check what the problem is. If a child suffers from rickets, severe malnutrition, congenital bone development disorders, etc., the calcification of the teeth will be affected and the eruption time will be delayed.

The order of the time of emergence of deciduous teeth is shown in the following table:

Name of deciduous teeth Number of teeth Age in months Total number of teeth when they emerged

Lower central incisor 2 May-October 2

Upper incisor Lower lateral incisor 4 2 6-14 months 8

First deciduous molars 10-17 10-17 months 12

Fangs 4 18-24 months 16

Second deciduous molars 4 20-30 months 20

The above is a standard for baby's teeth growth. It can be identified based on the actual situation of the baby's body. You can refer to it for reference. Every part of the baby's body is constantly changing, so as a family member, you should pay special attention to the baby's changes and pay attention to some reasonable combinations of the baby's diet.
