Baby teething order

When the baby is 6 or 7 months old, the deciduous teeth begin to erupt one after another, but it may be 3 or 4 months earlier, or delayed until 11 or 12 months. Usually, there will be a difference of 6 months for the front teeth, and even up to 1 year for the back teeth. Generally speaking, babies start to grow deciduous teeth 4 to 10 months after birth, 6 to 8 teeth will erupt at the age of 1, and all 20 deciduous teeth will grow by the age of 2 to 2.5 years.

When a child is born, the deciduous teeth are grown in the gums and are ready to grow. However, the time when teeth begin to grow and the speed at which they grow completely vary greatly from person to person. It has been statistically shown that, on average, 10% of babies start to grow teeth before 5 months after birth, 50% before 7 months, and 90% before 10 months. In addition, there are babies commonly known as "devil teeth", that is, babies who have grown teeth when they are born, and there are also babies who have not grown teeth even after 10 months of birth. The latter accounts for about 10%.

When babies grow teeth, the front teeth or the two middle teeth below usually erupt first, but the order of tooth growth may be a little different for some babies. The order in which your baby's teeth grow is generally unimportant. If the child develops normally and has no special diseases, there is no need to worry even if the teeth start to grow a little late. You can go for a physical examination when it is convenient.
