Tooth eruption stages for kids are different, just like growth and development of children in general. Tooth eruption can be delayed; just as children can be a bit delayed in their growth.

The best thing you can do is bring your child into the Children’s Dental Center of New Hampshire, in Amherst, New Hampshire, for a visit. Your child should have their first dental visit by the time they reach one-year-old.

According to the American Dental Association, there are average eruption times for children’s teeth. These are listed below:

Upper Teeth:

Central Incisor 8-12 months
Lateral Incisor 9-13 months
Canine 16-22 months

Lower Teeth:

Central Incisor 6-10 months
Lateral Incisor 10-16 months
Canine 17-23 months

Just keep in mind that the eruption list is a guide and that children can differ from the sequence listed. Typically though teeth will erupt in sequence, with a lower tooth erupting first, followed by the corresponding upper tooth.
