Dr. Payman Pirnazar, Pediatric Dentist

Q:
At what age should my son's baby teeth start erupting?
A: It is important to note that in some cases, a baby may be born with some teeth (called neonatal teeth). Also note that there are variations in eruption sequence such as the gender and race of a child. For example, in general, teeth erupt earlier in girls than boys.

Eruption Sequence of Primary Teeth (Baby Teeth)
Upper Teeth
A - Central Incisors - 8-13 months
B - Lateral Incisors - 8-13 months
C - Canines (cuspids) -16-23 months
D - First Molars - 13-19 months
E - Second Molars - 25-33 months
Lower Teeth
A - Central Incisors - 6-10 months
B - Lateral Incisors - 10-16 months
C - Canines (cuspids) - 16-23 months
D - First Molars - 13-19 months
E - Second Molars - 23-31 months
