- Upper central incisors — 8-12 months
- Upper lateral incisors — 9-13 months
- Lower lateral incisors — 10-16 months
- First molars — 12-19 months
- Canines — 16-23 months
- Second molars — 23-33 months
How to Care for Baby’s First Teeth
Starting oral care early makes a big difference! Here are the most important habits to build from the very first tooth:
- 🪥 Brush twice a day — use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush and a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste from the first tooth
- 💧 Clean gums before teeth — wipe your baby’s gums with a clean damp cloth even before the first tooth appears
- 🦷 First dental visit by age 1 — the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the first visit within 6 months of the first tooth erupting
- 🍬 Limit sugary foods and drinks — avoid putting your baby to sleep with a bottle of milk or juice, as this can cause early tooth decay
- 💕 Make it fun! — let your child choose their toothbrush, sing a song, or use our free 2-minute brushing timer to make brushing a happy routine
Frequently Asked Questions
🦷 Why are baby teeth important if they fall out anyway?
Baby teeth are essential for chewing, speech development, and holding space for permanent teeth. If lost too early due to decay, permanent teeth may come in crooked. Caring for them from the start sets the foundation for a healthy smile for life!
📅 When do baby teeth fall out?
Baby teeth typically start falling out around age 6, starting with the lower central incisors — the same ones that erupted first! The process continues until around age 12-13, when all 20 primary teeth are replaced by permanent ones.
⏰ My baby’s teeth are late, should I worry?
Every baby develops at their own pace! Some babies get their first tooth as early as 4 months, others not until 12-14 months — both are completely normal. If no teeth have appeared by 18 months, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatric dentist.
🔄 Does the eruption order always follow the chart?
Not necessarily! The order shown is the most common pattern, but variations are normal. What matters most is that all 20 primary teeth eventually erupt. If you notice something unusual, your pediatric dentist can reassure you.
