Most commonly, the first primary (milk) tooth to erupt is the lower central incisor. The eruption schedule usually varies between 6 to 10 months of age.
During this period, some babies may experience symptoms such as sleep disturbance, reduced food intake, gum swelling, and mild fever. These symptoms generally last only a few days and gradually subside once the tooth erupts completely.
When Should My Child Start Brushing?
Oral care begins even before teeth appear. Gently clean your baby’s gums using a soft cloth or gauze.
Once the first tooth erupts, introduce a paediatric toothbrush.
Parents should assist with brushing until 2 years of age.
From 3 years onward, children can brush independently—with loving parental supervision.
Are Milk Teeth Important?
Absolutely. Milk teeth guide jaw growth, support proper alignment, and protect the developing permanent teeth beneath.
Healthy milk teeth lay the foundation for a confident, healthy smile.
