Your child’s teething chart
The middle front teeth come first, at about 6 to 12 months, usually the bottom two first. By about three, all twenty baby teeth are in. Pick your child’s birth month and year to see which teeth are probably through, which are due now and which come later. Every child has their own timing.

Pick the birth date, and the chart appears
The ages come word for word from the table in when your baby’s teeth come through. We don’t ask for a name, and the date is never saved or sent to us.
Your child’s teething chart
Around 18 months old or more, and not a single tooth yet? It is worth a check. A check, with an x-ray if needed, shows whether the teeth are there under the gum and on their way.
At this age, the baby teeth are changing over to adult teeth. Baby teeth start to fall out at about 6 to 7 years, so the chart of baby teeth coming through no longer describes your child. What happens now is in baby teeth and gaps and crowded teeth in children.
- Probably through
- Due now: may be through or on the way
- Coming later
Probably through
Due now
Coming later
Your child is past the last range in the table (about 23 to 33 months), so all twenty baby teeth are probably through. Baby teeth start to fall out at about 6 to 7 years. More in baby teeth and when your baby’s teeth come through.
Every child has their own timing, and a few months either side of the chart, up to about a year, is usually normal.

What next
The chart describes what is usual, not your child in particular, and the order says more than the dates. But some situations are worth a check rather than a wait:
- Around 18 months old, and not a single tooth yet.
- A tooth arriving well before its turn, or teeth coming in very differently from the chart.
- A baby born with a tooth, or one that appears in the first month.
And the first dental visit is earlier than most parents think: within six months of the first tooth, or by the first birthday. More on the children’s dentistry page, and the full chart, with baby teeth falling out and adult teeth coming in, in when your baby’s teeth come through.
Questions people ask
My baby’s teeth are later than the chart. Is that normal?
Usually, yes. Every child has their own timing, and a few months either side of the chart, up to about a year, is usually normal. The order says more than the dates: if the teeth are coming in the right order, just a little late, that is most likely simply your child’s timing.
Why is there a gap next to the first molars?
Because the first molars come in before the canines, so the gap that stays between them for a while is not a missing tooth: it is where the canine goes, waiting for it.
Do you keep the chart?
No. The tool works on your device, does not save the date, and nothing from it reaches us. Want to keep it? Tap “Print the chart”, then print it or save it as a file from the print window.
When should my child first see a dentist?
Earlier than most parents think: within six months of the first tooth, or by the first birthday, whichever comes first. Not when it hurts. More in the first dental visit.
Your next step
A check-up for your child from the first tooth, not only when something hurts. Bring the printed chart if you like, and we’ll pick it up from there.
