We originally posted this article 3 years ago. It's been super popular ever since so I thought it's useful to have it up on the home page again for a while. Enjoy - Stef Now that our little champ has pushed out his first two teeth and we are (anxiously) awaiting the next ones to emerge I was wondering what the usual sequence for teething is anyway. Well - as it turns out the good people of the "Journal of American Dental Association" already did some research back in 1974 to answer exactly that question.
Eruption Sequence of baby teeth (also called "Deciduous Teeth" or "Primary Teeth") in months after birth:
Eruption time averages have been calculated among the general population (US). They are average values, so the variation can range ±6 months.

Sometimes if you use orajel
Sometimes if you use orajel it will prolong the teeth, this is so that you will keep buying orajel. If not, then i would ask a doctor. As for the crawling, sometimes babies will skip this step and go straight to walking. As long as his legs look strong and can hold himself up while you are holding him, I would not be too worried!

Irritability or fussiness

Very interesting. My baby's
Very interesting. My baby's only 4 months and already teething. Keeping me awake all night long.
My son had his lower central
My son had his lower central incisors at 8 months; now at 9 1/2 months, he is showing his upper lateral incisors but only 1 instead of 2. Is this common?
My son is 19 months and just
My son is 19 months and just now getting his first set of lower molars in. It's been a long and painful process for him (and us!) as he's always gumming something to help soothe the pain. And, the drooling...he's still wearing bibs because he drools so much. I feel sorry for the poor guy!
At any rate, this is just proof that every child is different when it comes to teething.
My first born was 5 months
My first born was 5 months when his bottom two teeth came in. Then two weeks later his two top teeth came in. After this almost every two weeks he got in new teeth. They came in at four at a time. By the time he was 9 months he had all his teeth. My four month old now is teething, but no teeth in yet. All babies will teeth at different times. There is no exact time-line.
My baby girl is five months
My baby girl is five months old got her first teeth at 3.5 months and already has 8 now!
My five month old has 8
My five month old has 8 teeth!!!!!!
My Son has just turned 7
My Son has just turned 7 months. His lower central incisor grew at 5 months. However, his upper canine (cuspid) have started to grow. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?
