Tooth Eruption

The first baby teeth to come into the mouth are usually the two bottom front teeth between the ages of 6 to 12 months. The next baby teeth to erupt are generally the top four. Teeth will periodically erupt until around 2 1/2 years of age.

At around 2-1/2 years old, your child should have all 20 teeth. Between the ages of five and six, the first permanent teeth will begin to erupt. Some of the permanent teeth replace baby teeth and some don’t. Don’t worry if some teeth are a few months early or late as all children are different.

Baby teeth are important as they not only hold space for permanent teeth, but they are important to chewing, biting, speech, and appearance.

For this reason it is important to maintain a healthy diet and daily hygiene.
