Baby teeth - order of appearance: photos
Our slideshow gives you an idea of the order in which your child's teeth are likely to emerge and when it might happen.
-
1 / 11
Lower central incisors
The bottom middle teeth typically emerge first, between five months and 10 months. Tooth development is hereditary, so if you got your teeth early, chances are your baby will too! -
2 / 11
Upper central incisors
The upper middle teeth come next, between six months and 12 months. Teeth usually emerge in pairs. -
3 / 11
Upper lateral incisors
Between nine months and 13 months, you'll see the upper teeth to the right and left of centre. This will give your child a row of four teeth across the top. -

Upper first molars
Your child's first molars, the bigger teeth towards the back of the mouth, will emerge between 12 months and 18 months. -
6 / 11
Lower first molars
The lower first molars will emerge at the bottom between 12 months and 18 months. -

Upper canine
The upper canines fill the gap between the incisors and first molars between 16 months and 22 months. -
8 / 11
Lower canine
The lower canines make their appearance between 16 months and 22 months. Your child's smile is probably the brightest it'll ever be, since baby teeth are whiter than permanent teeth. -
9 / 11
Lower second molar
The rear molars usually poke through on the bottom first, between 20 months and 31 months. -
10 / 11
Upper second molar
Between 25 months and 33 months, your child's final teeth, the rear molars on the top, emerge. By the age of three, most children have a full set of 20 baby teeth and can give you a brilliant grin. -
