At Youdent Hospital, we know that a baby’s first tooth is a special milestone for every parent. Usually, a child’s first (milk) teeth start appearing between 6 to 10 months of age, although the timing can vary for each baby. These teeth are essential for proper chewing, speech development, and guiding the permanent teeth into place later on.
Typical Timeline for Milk Teeth Eruption:
6–10 months: Lower front teeth (central incisors)
8–12 months: Upper front teeth
9–16 months: Side teeth (lateral incisors)
13–19 months: First molars
16–23 months: Canine teeth
23–33 months: Second molars
How to Care for Your Baby’s Teeth:
Clean gums with a soft cloth before teeth erupt
Use a soft baby toothbrush once the first tooth appears
Avoid sugary drinks and snacks
Visit a pediatric dentist for regular checkups
At Youdent Hospital, our pediatric dental specialists ensure your child’s teeth grow strong and healthy through gentle, preventive dental care and parent education.
