Most babies begin teething between 4 and 7 months, although every child develops at their own pace. Typically, the lower front teeth appear first, followed by the upper front teeth.

A general teething timeline includes:

• 6–12 months: Lower and upper front teeth
• 9–16 months: Side front teeth
• 13–19 months: First molars
• 16–23 months: Canines
• 23–33 months: Second molars

By around age three, most children have all 20 primary (baby) teeth.
