Baby's First Tooth

Follow me on:

Baby's First ToothThe timing of when your baby's first tooth comes in can vary quite a bit.

Although the average age for getting their first baby tooth is 6 months, some infants don't get their first tooth until they are 14 or 15 months old. Others can begin teething and get an early baby tooth at 3 months.

Learn more about when you can expect your baby's first tooth so that you won't worry if it isn't as soon as you expect.

Is it possible to see them at 20 days old. Our baby is showing a first tooth and is less than a month old?

It’s very possible. some babies are actually born with their first teeth. My son’s going to be 4 months old in 2 days and he’s actually been teething since before he turned a month old.
