Children's teeth begin forming before
birth. As early as 4 months the first
primary, or baby teeth, begin to
erupt through the gums. The lower
central incisors are usually the first to
erupt, followed closely by the upper
central incisors. Although all 20
primary teeth usually appear by age
3, the pace and order of eruption
varies. Oral care should begin soon
after
birth. Gums should be cleaned
after each feeding. You can begin
brushing your child's teeth as soon as
they erupt.
