Baby teething timeline?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
In babies, the first tooth usually appears between 6-9 months, but it can start at 4 months or be completely normal at 12 months. The typical order is:
- Lower front teeth (center): 6-10 months
- Upper front teeth (center): 8-12 months
- Upper side teeth: 9-13 months
- Lower side teeth: 10-16 months
- First molars: 13-19 months
- Canines: 16-23 months
- Second molars: 23-33 months
Timing and order vary from baby to baby; genetics play an important role. If your baby still has no teeth after 12 months, it's good to check with your pediatrician, but this rarely indicates a real problem. Teething symptoms (fussiness, mild fever, increased drooling, swollen gums) can start 3-5 days before a tooth comes in—but fever over 38°C shouldn't be blamed directly on teething; you should look for another cause.
