The information contained on this Web site should not be used as a substitute for the medical care and advice of your pediatrician.
There may be variations in treatment that your pediatrician may recommend based on individual facts and circumstances. Here's a schedule of when teeth start to appear and when baby teeth begin falling out to make way for permanent ones.
Keep in mind that this is a general timeline. It's perfectly normal for your baby's first tooth to show up at 3 months — or after his first birthday. Some babies are even born with teeth! It's also fine if your child's teeth come in or fall out in a different order than what's outlined here. Teething begins. Your baby's gums may be swollen and red where the teeth are coming through.
The two middle teeth on the bottom lower central incisors are usually the first to erupt, often at about the same time. Fast fact: Baby teeth, or primary teeth, have wavy edges that smooth out with use.
Top teeth right next to the middle teeth lateral incisors appear, giving your baby a row of what look like four little Tic Tacs. Fast fact: Teeth usually emerge in pairs — one on the right and one on the left. Your child's first molars — the wider teeth toward the back of the mouth — erupt on the top.
They won't have much to do until the ones on the bottom show up. Fast fact: Sometimes the first molars on the top and bottom will erupt on one side before they erupt on the other side. The bones in your child's face and jaw grow and develop, creating space between the baby teeth for permanent teeth to come in. Your child starts losing teeth. During these years, his grin features both baby teeth and permanent teeth as one type starts to replace the other.
Your child's teeth can fall out in any order, but baby teeth are often lost in the same order they arrived. If your child's baby teeth came in later than his peers, he may lose them later too. The middle teeth are usually the first to go at 6 to 7 years , followed by the ones on either side at 7 to 8 years. The molars can be lost any time after that but will likely fall out between 9 and 12 years.
The bottom canines will probably fall out between 9 and 12 years, and the top canines will come out between 10 and 12 years. Your child will probably have all 28 permanent adult teeth at around age Her four wisdom teeth will come in when she's 17 to 21 years old.

Because of their hard-to-reach location, there's an opportunity for plaque to build up and develop early cavities caries. As these molars appear, you should already be well into your child's oral care routine.
But if you're concerned you haven't perfected it, now is a valuable time to assess where you should be in your child's regimen. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends the following oral care timeline:. Of course, an older child who's already getting their permanent teeth may experience some familiar soreness. Luckily, ibuprofen, soft foods, and cool ice water can help with the discomfort at this stage as well.
Just remind your children to properly floss their molars and use a tool like a small dental mirror to locate any areas where food gets stuck. It's also essential to schedule your child's six-month dental checkups to ensure that permanent molars are erupting correctly. We know that you care about your child's milestones. From their height and weight to their first steps, it's all so special! And dental milestones are just as important. As your child's primary molars come in, you're in the home stretch to help them through the discomforts of tooth eruption.
Remember that besides addressing short-term pain relief and changing their diet, focusing on big-picture oral care will help your child develop healthy molars and habits well into adulthood!
