Teeth coming in out of order

cubuff98

Our little guy got his bottom two middle teeth, and then I thought come the upper middle two next?  But instead his third tooth that came in this week is the next bottom one next to the middles on the right.  Anyone else have this happen?

I've heard that the bottom two are always "usually" the first two and after that there is an order, but they don't necessarily follow it and can come sporadically.

My LO did the same.  He got the bottom two then the two next to those, then the top two and the two next to those.  He had all 8 by the time he was 6 months old.  The order doesn't really matter, what you see online for ages and order are just general guidelines but every baby is different.

Ours have come in the same way. Bottom two, another bottom one, and then a top one. For a while I thought her top teeth didn't exist...lol

My 9 month old is the same way.  She decided her own order  At 6 months she got the bottom right (her left) then around 8 months she got the other bottom middle and the one next to it at the same time.  I thought something was wrong but everything's fine.  Baby's don't always go in the same order as the "norm".  These are the only 3 teeth she has so far but her 2 top teeth are probably coming in soon b/c she's been teething bad and they're swollen.

I don't think there is anything as a specific "order" just a general guide.

Baby Teeth Order and Knowing When Teething Starts

It can be an exciting time to see your baby?s first tooth poking through! Of course it can also be stressful due to the symptoms of teething.

But what is the baby teeth order in terms of them coming through into the mouth? And should you be worried if your child?s pattern of tooth eruption is ?out of order??

Here are a few notes on the subject.

Knowing when teeth erupt can give you awareness of when teething can start. How many to expect? There are 20 baby teeth in total and they usually come through in pairs (i.e. those on the left and right on the same jaw tend to poke through at around the same time). Females tend to get their first tooth (just) before males.

The order of development and eruption tends to have some genetic input.

Our chart below shows you the average times for tooth eruption.

Baby Teeth Order of Eruption

The general primary teeth order of eruption is this:

• The front teeth (central incisors) at the bottom of your baby?s mouth will appear first, at around 6 months of age. So, teething will commonly start around this age (and earlier in some cases).
• A few months later (8-12 months) the upper two front teeth should emerge, soon followed by the second front counterparts (lateral incisors) at 9-13 months.
• The second (lateral) incisors at the bottom will emerge next, at around 10-16 months.
• Next out are the first set of molars (?back tooth?), which usually come through between the ages of 13-19 months. The upper first molars tend to erupt just before the lowers.
• The upper canines (?eye? tooth) emerge next, at about 16-22 months. They are usually followed about a month later by the lower canines.
• Last to come through are the second molars. The lowers tend to erupt at bout 23-31 months, and the upper second molars follow about two months later.

Please note that this baby teeth order is general, don?t fret if your child?s teeth appear in a slightly different pattern. As you can see from the dates given, there is a wide variation of when they can erupt, and when teething can start!
