When do children teeth grow?

There is a period of time for children to grow teeth, so many parents want to have a comprehensive understanding of this period of time. They want to know specifically when their children's teeth grow, so that they can better control their children's teeth growth time and better supplement their children's nutrition to make their teeth grow healthier. The following content provides specific answers so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

When a child is born, there are no teeth in his mouth. Normal babies start to grow teeth at an average age of six months. The mandibular central incisor begins to erupt, adding one tooth per month. At about one year old (twelve months), the baby will have six teeth. By the age of 2 and a half, all 20 deciduous teeth will have grown out. The enamel of all deciduous teeth is mineralized within 1 year after the baby is born (1.5 months to 11 months), and all deciduous teeth are erupted within 2 years after birth (6 months to 24 months). Therefore, if a child develops systemic or local disorders within one year after birth, it will affect the development of the enamel of the deciduous teeth, leading to tooth development defects and susceptibility to caries.

Baby teething order

There is great individual variability in the timing of tooth eruption. This is very important because of individual differences. Some children's teeth erupt early, while others erupt late, but as long as it is within the range of individual differences, it is normal.

1. Central incisor: 6 months for mandibular; 7.5 months for maxillary

2. Lateral incisors: mandibular 7 months; maxillary 9 months

3. First deciduous molars: mandibular 12 months; maxillary 14 months

4. Canines: 16 months for lower jaw and 18 months for upper jaw

5. Second deciduous molars: mandibular 20 months; maxillary 2 years

For some children, the order of eruption of some teeth may be reversed, but it does not ultimately affect the arrangement of the teeth and does not require any treatment.

The eruption of baby's deciduous teeth follows such a physiological law: eruption at a certain time, growth in a certain order, and symmetrical development of the left and right teeth. Generally speaking, baby's deciduous teeth begin to erupt when they are 6-7 months old. However, some babies will grow deciduous teeth 4 months after birth, while some babies will not grow them until 10 months after birth. This is all normal. Although babies may start teething earlier or later, the difference should not be too great.

The above is a comprehensive introduction to the order and time of baby's teeth growth. I believe that many parents have learned in detail the order and time of their baby's teeth growth through the above introduction. After a comprehensive understanding, when their children start to grow teeth, they can supplement calcium and other aspects to make their children's teeth grow healthier.
