1. The time and sequence of baby teething
Baby teething is a problem that every family will face, but the time and order of teething may be different for different babies. Generally speaking, a baby\’s first deciduous teeth will begin to grow between 6 months and 12 months after birth. But some babies will start to grow teeth at 4 months or 18 months.
When a baby\’s teeth grow, they generally start from the front of the lower jaw and then gradually extend toward the upper jaw. Therefore, in most cases, the two incisors on the lower jaw erupt first, followed by the two incisors on the upper jaw. Next are the lateral incisors, canines and molars.
