FACTS ABOUT BABY TEETH

Primary teeth erupt between the age of  6-12 months , with teething signs appearing as early as 4 months of age. Babies are born with 20 primary teeth, also called deciduous teeth. The first to erupt are usually the central incisors which are the bottom and top front two teeth. From there, the mouth fills towards the back, with molars erupting last. Lateral incisors will quickly follow the eruption of the first baby teeth, and canine teeth will come in within a few months after that. Just after a year of age to age two, or even longer for some kids, first and second molars will begin to come in. Keeping your baby safe includes keeping them healthy. Make sure you visit your pediatrician regularly to make sure your baby’s development is on track.
