Teeth eruption, also known as teething, typically begins during infancy. The first set of teeth to appear are the lower central incisors, usually around 6 to 10 months of age. The upper central incisors follow shortly after, at approximately 8 to 12 months. By the age of 1, most children will have a total of six to eight primary teeth. As they grow, the lateral incisors, first molars, and canines emerge between 9 months to 3 years of age. Around 2 to 3 years, the second molars start coming in, and by the age of 3, a child usually has a full set of 20 primary teeth. Between the ages of 6 to 7, the first permanent molars begin to erupt, followed by the incisors and canines. The process of losing primary teeth and getting permanent ones continues throughout childhood until early adolescence.
