Hunter just cut his two top front teeth...at the same time! He has been gnawing on his hand quite a bit lately and has been a little fussy/irritable, so we knew another tooth was coming, but we never could have guessed he was getting both of them together! Knowing that, and how painful it must have been for him, he has been a real trooper!
Given the chart below, it looks like we are right on schedule!
Eruption Sequence of baby teeth (also called "Deciduous Teeth" or "Primary Teeth") in months after birth:
| Teeth | Average "eruption" time (in months after birth) |
| 1) Lower central incisor | 8 months |
| 2) Upper central incisor | 10 months |
| 3) Upper lateral incisor | 11 months |
| 4) Lower lateral incisor | 13 months |
| 5) Lower first molar | 16 months |
| 6) Upper first molar | 16 months |
| 7) Upper canine | 19 months |
| 8) Lower canine | 20 months |
| 9) Lower second molar | 27 months |
| 10) Upper second molar | 29 months |
Eruption time averages have been calculated among the general population (US). They are average values, so the variation can range ±6 months
