Toddler Teeth Development
Every day, we receive many, many questions about how a child’s teeth should come in. While the timeline is different for everyone, generally, the teeth first start to appear around the six to 12-month mark. Most often, the front teeth come in first, and new ones appear about every one to two months until there are 20 in total. On average, a child should have all of their primary (baby) teeth around age three.
What is Teething?
In addition to actually seeing your child’s teeth, you’ll also be able to tell they are coming in because your little one will be teething. This can cause some oral soreness and prolonged grumpiness simply because the teeth pressing on a child’s gums doesn’t feel very good! We’ve helped countless children and parents through this often stressful process, so we can help you find ways to minimize their discomfort so your entire household can remain happy and healthy. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions!
