When do babies start teething?


When do babies start teething? is the type of question with many answers. As often with baby and kids numbers, the numbers on our baby teething chart are averages.

... and that means there are many values above and below average, sometimes very far off.

The teething chart does remain very helpful though to give you an idea of when you can expect the first signs of teething.

Note that the teething symptoms can occur as much as 3 or 4 months before the actual cutting of the tooth.


Teething chart

The clear chart below tells you which tooth to expect at different ages. There are 20 baby or milk teeth to come out. The shown ages are for the cutting through, when you actually can see the tip of the tooth.

The 'winner', the very first tooth to come out, usually is one of the bottom central incisors. On average that will be around six months, but it can just as well be at 4 months.

Having the first tooth at 12 months or in the second year, is also still normal.

After the bottom central incisor(s), there will typically be a top central incisor or a bottom lateral one. And so on ...

So ... when will my baby start teething?


Well, typically, you can see the first signs from about 12 weeks (3 months). That would be in preparation for the first tooth at 6 months. But it can also start a couple of weeks, or even a year, later...

Then there will be periods where nothing much is happening, and then it will start over again for the next tooth, or teeth.
