A personal teething timeline

Most babies get their first tooth, usually a lower front tooth, between 6 and 10 months. By around age 3 most children have all 20 baby teeth. From about age 6 the first adult molars arrive behind the baby teeth, and baby teeth start to fall out.

The calculator below works out your child’s age in months and highlights the teeth that typically appear around now, based on standard eruption charts.

FAQ

Children’s teeth questions

My baby is one year old with no teeth. Is that normal?
Some healthy babies get their first tooth after their first birthday. If there are no teeth by about 18 months, ask a dentist to check.
What helps with teething?
A clean, chilled (not frozen) teething ring and gently rubbing the gum with a clean finger often help. Teething can make babies fussy, but a high fever is not normal teething and should be checked by a doctor.
When should my child first see a dentist?
By the first birthday. Early visits are short and gentle, and they help children feel relaxed at the dentist.
Do baby teeth matter if they fall out anyway?
Yes. Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth, help with speech and chewing, and decay in baby teeth can cause pain and infection.
