What are baby tooth numbers?

The first teeth to start erupting in babies are usually the lower front incisors (roughly 6-10 months). The timing and order vary from baby to baby.

Common eruption order and numbers are as follows:

1. Lower central incisors (6-10 months) — usually the first.

2. Upper central incisors (8-12 months)

3. Upper lateral incisors (9-13 months)

4. Lower lateral incisors (10-16 months)

5. First molars (upper and lower, 13-19 months) — these are the larger teeth next to the lateral incisors.

6. Canines (16-23 months)

7. Second molars (23-33 months) — the very back teeth.

A baby has a total of 20 baby teeth (10 upper, 10 lower). They're usually all complete by 2.5-3 years.

During teething, mild fussiness, increased drooling, and swollen gums are common. Letting your baby chew a cool teething toy (from the refrigerator, not frozen) can help. Every child is different; if you're concerned, seeing a pediatric dentist or pediatrician is best.
