2-year-old teeth?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

By around 2 years old, children usually have most of their primary teeth (total of 20 primary teeth). The last to come in are usually the second molars (the big grinding teeth in back), which finish by 24–30 months.

Things to watch during this stage:

  • Brush twice daily (after breakfast and before bed) with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Supervision is needed until your child learns to spit it out.
  • Parent should do the brushing or do a final check.
  • Keep sugary foods and drinks to a minimum; nighttime milk or juice bottles pose risk of "bottle tooth decay."
  • First dental visit should be when the first tooth appears or by 12 months—it's not too late at 2, but if you haven't had a check-up yet, schedule one now.

If there's no obvious problem (pain, discoloration, cavities), there's nothing special to do at this age—regular brushing and healthy eating are enough.
