Dental eruption of temporary (primary) teeth follows a general timeline, though it can vary slightly among children. The primary teeth, also called baby teeth, typically begin to erupt around 6 months of age and continue until about 2.5 to 3 years old.
Typical Eruption Timeline for Primary Teeth:
Central incisors – 6 to 12 months
Lateral incisors – 9 to 16 months
First molars – 13 to 19 months
Canines (cuspids) – 16 to 23 months
Second molars – 23 to 33 months
By age 3, most children have a full set of 20 primary teeth. These teeth will start to shed (exfoliate) around age 6, making way for permanent teeth.
