How long before baby teeth appear?

Baby teeth, also known as primary teeth, typically start appearing around 6 months of age. However, this is just an average. Some babies may start getting their teeth earlier, around 4 months, while others may not get their first tooth until 12 months or even later.

Here's a general timeline for the eruption of baby teeth:

* 6-8 months: Lower central incisors (front teeth)

* 8-12 months: Upper central incisors

* 9-13 months: Lateral incisors (teeth next to the central incisors)

* 12-16 months: First molars (back teeth)

* 16-20 months: Canines (eye teeth)

* 20-24 months: Second molars

It's important to remember that every baby is different. The timing of tooth eruption can be influenced by genetics, nutrition, and overall health. If you have any concerns about your baby's teeth, consult with your pediatrician or a pediatric dentist.
