When do babies get teeth?
The onset of teething symptoms
typically precedes the eruption of a tooth by several days. While a baby's
first tooth can appear between 4 and 10 months of age, the first tooth usually
erupts at approximately 6 months of age. Some dentists have noted a family
pattern of "early," "average," or "late"
teethers.
Just as
each child is an individual, teething timelines will vary from child to child,
as well. The general rule is that once your baby starts teething, about four
teeth will come in every six months. These first teeth are known as primary or
milk teeth, and they will eventually begin to be replaced by permanent adult
teeth when your child is between 6 and 12 years of age.
