Baby’s Dental Milestones: What to Expect and When

As a parent, keeping track of your baby’s development can feel like an endless journey of firsts—each milestone marking a significant step in their growth. One of the most exciting yet often overlooked milestones in a baby's early years is their dental development. Knowing what to expect and when can help you ensure their dental health is on track from the very start.

Key Baby Dental Milestones: What You Need to Know

From their first tooth to their early visits to the dentist, there are key moments to be aware of when it comes to your baby’s dental health.

Teething Begins (Around 4-7 Months) The first sign that your baby is teething is usually excessive drooling and the desire to chew on anything in sight. Most babies start to get their first teeth around 4 to 7 months, with the lower front teeth appearing first. Make sure to keep their gums clean with a soft, damp cloth to avoid bacteria buildup.

First Tooth Appears (Around 6-12 Months) The appearance of the first tooth is an exciting milestone. By the time your baby is one year old, they may have a few teeth coming through. It's the perfect time to begin brushing those tiny teeth with a baby-safe toothbrush and fluoride-free toothpaste.

First Dental Visit (By 1 Year Old) The American Dental Association recommends taking your baby to the dentist by their first birthday. The dentist will check their teeth, gums, and overall oral health, offering you guidance on how to care for your baby's smile.

Teething Continues (Up to 3 Years) Baby teeth will continue to come in until around 3 years old. By this point, your little one will have a full set of 20 primary teeth, which will stay until they start to lose them at around age 6.

Proper Oral Hygiene (Starting Early) Even before teeth appear, it's important to keep your baby’s gums clean. Wiping their gums with a soft, damp cloth can help prevent the buildup of bacteria. Once their teeth arrive, using a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and brushing twice a day becomes essential to their dental health.
