Baby top teeth, also known as primary teeth, typically emerge in a specific pattern. Generally, the top teeth come in around 8 to 12 months of age. These teeth, like their bottom counterparts, usually erupt in pairs.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Eruption Pattern of Baby Top Teeth
| Tooth Type | Usual Eruption Time |
|---|---|
| Central Incisors | 8 to 12 months |
| Lateral Incisors | 9 to 13 months |
Key Considerations
- In Pairs: The central incisors and all the subsequent baby teeth that ultimately erupt through the gums typically come in pairs. This means you'll likely see both top central incisors emerge around the same time.
- Timing Varies: Keep in mind that the eruption times are averages. Some babies might get their top teeth earlier or later, and that's perfectly normal.
