Tooth Eruption Chart: What Is It?
A Tooth Eruption Chart serves as a visual display of the stages of teeth development and stages of tooth eruption. It demonstrates the way in which teeth erupt within the mouth as well as the amount of time that every tooth needs to grow.
Understanding and monitoring the trends in a child's tooth eruption process can reveal important details about the emergence of baby teeth and indicate potential problems such as delayed tooth eruption.

It's crucial to remember that not every infant will adopt the conventional tooth eruption schedule. It's possible for one infant to have an eruption of the first tooth before another even if they are the same age. The behavior and development of every toddler's jaw varies, resulting in different schedules.
Tooth eruption occurs twice throughout the life of a human. The first usually takes place as early as six months old in babies where “milk teeth” begin to appear and this continues until the child is approximately 2.5 years old. Then, usually from around age six, these teeth begin to shed and this continues until a child is approximately 12 years old. After this, the shed teeth are replaced by permanent teeth which can gradually develop until the early 20s.

How Long Does Tooth Eruption Take?
There are a total of two stages during eruption and they are known as:
- The pre-eruptive phase, when the teeth have not yet erupted. Changes in the jaw occur which causes expansion inside the jaw and as the baby's bones develop, they find more space to do so;
- Eruptive Phase: a tooth enters this phase when it has started to erupt in the mouth of a baby. The teeth start to break through the gum at this point. As it penetrates the tissues to create space for the tooth, it can have small wrinkles or protrusions on the surface. Each infant develops at a different rate between these two stages.
The stages of eruption are outlined below:
- A baby's bottom middle incisors tend to emerge first, accompanied by the top middle incisors. They are the teeth located in the center of a baby's mouth, adjacent to one another;
- These teeth typically start to emerge four to six months prior to a child turning one and finishes after approximately 18 months;
- The four canines typically emerge during the same moment as the incisors, however, it is possible for them to come in a little later;
- The teeth just behind the incisors, the bottom canines, typically emerge in the end stages;
- Six of the molars typically emerge between the ages of three and five.
Permanent teeth usually take a while to erupt in the mouth, longer than milk teeth would, which erupt and fall out as required. The final molars known as the wisdom teeth can appear in early adulthood.
