When will my Baby start getting their Teeth?
Teething is different for every baby - when primary teeth begin to erupt into the mouth can range anywhere between six and eight months old. It is usually the lower front (anterior) teeth that appear first, with the upper front teeth then being followed by the rest of your baby’s teeth which may appear gradually as they come in pairs along the sides of the jaw until your child is about two-and-a-half years old. By the time they reach five or six years old, their permanent teeth should have erupted. Do not worry if your child's teeth look slightly ahead or behind of other children - everyone is unique! Baby teeth are key for developmentally-critical activities such as chewing, biting, speech, and of course, for appearance. They also have the important job of creating space for the permanent teeth!
