Baby teeth can appear in any order, but typically the bottom front appear first, followed by the top front, the sides, and then the back. As long as your pediatrician is monitoring the progress, your little one should be in good shape. Tooth timing is hereditary, so ask your parents when your teeth first came in for an indication of what you can expect from your child. Some will have noticeable gum redness and swelling where the new tooth is making its way through. Many parents say their children suffer from loose stools, diaper rash, runny noses, and low fevers when they're teething.
Some babies sprout teeth without much fuss, and others struggle with each one.
As the first few teeth come in, it's not usually necessary to brush them. Start making it a twice-daily habit so brushing regularly will follow naturally. Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. At a year, parents often begin brushing their baby's teeth. Don't use too much toothpaste, as it is likely to be swallowed.
