When will my baby’s teeth begin to erupt?

  • Most children cut their lower front teeth by the age of six to eight months.
  • These are followed by the two upper front teeth. The rest of the teeth should appear within the next 18 to 24 months.
  • At two to three years, all 20 of your child’s baby teeth should have erupted.
  • The first adult teeth usually start to erupt by around age six.
  • These include molars behind the baby teeth and the bottom front teeth.
  • Most children will continue with this process until around the age of 14.
  • Since all children are unique, the timing of eruption may vary from child to child.
  • Variations in the time frame of eruption and tooth loss are common.
