What is normal development and eruption of children’s teeth?
The primary teeth are forming under the gums even before a child is born! Primary teeth normally start to come in between 4 – 6 months of age, with the lower, center, front teeth (central incisors) coming in first. Permanent teeth start to develop under the gums around age 3 and begin to erupt around age 6. Eventually your child will have up to 32 permanent teeth.
