Which teeth is an 18-month-old baby cutting? There's so much different information online, what's true?

At 18 months, the most common teeth are first molars (number 1 deciduous molars) and canine teeth (canine teeth).
The order usually seen is:
- Upper lateral incisors (9-13 months)
- First deciduous molars (13-19 months, right around 18 months)
- Canine teeth (16-22 months)
So if first molars are coming in right now, that's very normal. Because these teeth are close to the tear duct in the upper jaw, they can cause slight nasal discharge, cheek redness, and discomfort. But if there's a fever over 38°C, diarrhea, or rash, don't blame it on teething — that could be something else, I'd suggest showing it to your pediatrician.
If you feel a hard lump in the back (molar area) when probing with your finger, it's probably a molar. Cold teething ring or letting them chew a clean cloth can provide relief. Do you have anything else you're wondering about?
