- The time when teeth appear varies from child to child.
- Occasionally babies are born with a tooth but these early teeth are usually lost soon after birth.
- Usually the first tooth appears between 6-10 months, but a few babies have no teeth until 12 months or later.
- The lower two front teeth usually come through before the upper ones.
- The teeth usually come through in pairs - one on the right, one on the left side.
- By about 2½-3 years all 20 baby teeth have come through.
- The first permanent teeth (molars in both jaws and the central (incisor) teeth in the lower jaw) begin to come through when a child is about six.
- By 12-13 years, most children have 28 permanent teeth. The last four molars (‘wisdom teeth’) usually come through between 17 and 21 years
