Baby teeth usually grow in a fairly specific sequence — usually the top or bottom two incisors are cut first, followed by the other pair that didn’t cut through the surface first.
Buddy cut his first tooth, just poking out of the gums, his bottom right incisor, on 18 July, the day he turned 9mths 1wk old. We have been waiting for these little teeth to grow forever! And it really took some time for it to grow!
Tried taking a photo of his little tooth but it cannot be seen clearly. If we use our fingers to feel it, it is pretty obvious that there is a tooth coming! Will try to take a photo again :)
The following chart shows when your child's primary teeth (also called baby teeth or deciduous teeth) should erupt and shed. It can vary from child to child.
| Primary Teeth Development Chart | ||
| Upper Teeth | When tooth emerges | When tooth falls out |
| Central incisor | 8 to 12 months | 6 to 7 years |
| Lateral incisor | 9 to 13 months | 7 to 8 years |
| Canine (cuspid) | 16 to 22 months | 10 to 12 years |
| First molar | 13 to 19 months | 9 to 11 years |
| Second molar | 25 to 33 months | 10 to 12 years |
| Lower Teeth | ||
| Second molar | 23 to 31 months | 10 to 12 years |
| First molar | 14 to 18 months | 9 to 11 years |
| Canine (cuspid) | 17 to 23 months | 9 to 12 years |
| Lateral incisor | 10 to 16 months | 7 to 8 years |
| Central incisor | 6 to 10 months | 6 to 7 years |
And, we are eagerly waiting for other little whities to grow!!!!
