What is the order in which children's teeth erupt?

Many young mothers are not very clear about some of the baby’s physiological signs, and don’t know the stages of the baby’s teething. So today the editor will share with you in detail some of the stages of the baby’s teething. Let’s take a look!

The growth of deciduous teeth usually starts from the upper and lower middle teeth first, and then erupts on both sides.

Generally, the lower central incisors (2 teeth) come out first, from June to August; the upper central incisors (2 teeth) come out, from September to October; the lower lateral incisors (2 teeth) come out, from September to October; the upper lateral incisors (2 teeth) come out, from October to December; the first deciduous molars (4 teeth) come out, from December to 14 months; the canines (4 teeth) come out, from 16 to 18 months; and the second deciduous molars (4 teeth) come out, from 20 to 30 months.

Based on the principle of first lower and then upper, first middle and then sides, the time of tooth eruption varies from person to person. The earliest one is the lower central incisor, which starts to erupt at around 4 months. The enamel of deciduous teeth is thin and the dentin is brittle, which is easily corroded and forms caries. Therefore, parents should pay attention to cleanliness after eating. They can feed an appropriate amount of water after eating to dilute the food residue in the mouth.

When babies are teething, their gums will feel itchy, especially when the first two teeth come out. They will often put their hands in their mouths. Because this is the period when babies use their tongues to perceive the outside world, it is necessary to ensure that the things that babies lick and chew are clean. You don’t need to stop the baby too much at this time, but it must be stopped after 8 months, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the habit of sucking fingers. This is also a way for babies to get comfort by sucking fingers when they feel insecure.

Through the editor’s sharing above, you have a certain understanding of the order of baby’s teeth eruption. Then in your future life, you might as well refer to the knowledge shared by the editor and correspond to your baby’s condition!
