Baby teething chart: order and timeline
Enter the date of birth to see the typical eruption window of all 20 baby teeth, the next tooth and the teeth already through — on one screen.
Your baby's date of birth
Used to show which teeth are in their typical window now. The date stays on this screen.
The age ranges come from the American Dental Association (ADA) chart. Timing varies a lot between children; being outside a range does not mean there is a problem.
Which teeth are through?

Common teething signs
- Sore, red gum where the tooth is coming through
- A slightly raised temperature, but below 38°C
- One flushed cheek
- A rash on the face
- Rubbing an ear
- Dribbling more than usual
- Gnawing and chewing on things a lot
- Being more fretful than usual
- Not sleeping very well
Some babies' teeth come through with no pain at all, or only mild signs that last a few days. There is no evidence that teething causes diarrhoea.
What not to do
- Don't use teething gels to numb the gums: in rare cases they can poison babies' blood cells.
- Don't use amber teething necklaces: they do nothing for the pain and have caused choking and strangulation.
When to see a dentist or a doctor
First dental visit: within 6 months after the first tooth comes in, and no later than 12 months of age — whichever comes first.
Teeth coming late? Teething timing varies a lot; teeth arriving after this window is not, on its own, a reason to worry.
Teething only raises the temperature slightly. For a higher fever, or any sign that worries you, talk to a doctor.

About this tool
What is this tool for?
It shows the order and age at which baby teeth come in, using the American Dental Association (ADA) chart. Enter the date of birth to see which teeth are in their typical window now and which tooth is next; signed in, you can save each tooth with its date.
How do I use it?
Enter the date of birth or choose a saved child. Tap the teeth that have come through on the tooth map; the numbers are the eruption order in the chart. You can print the chart and keep it handy.
How do I read the result?
“In typical window” means the tooth may come through around this age; “window passed” means most children have that tooth by this age. It is not an assessment: teething timing varies a lot, and the order can differ too.
Limits of this tool
The tool does not diagnose or assess dental development. The ranges come from the ADA chart; no threshold that is not in the source is added. If a sign worries you, talk to a doctor — and to a dentist about the teeth.
