Many parents ask when do babies teeth come through? Generally teething will start by 6-8 months but can vary a bit earlier or later with some babies (between 3-12 months).
Once teeth begin to erupt they will usually do so in a specific teething order. Please see the chart below for what teeth erupt first and when. It also shows when you can expect those baby teeth to fall out or be shed.
