As parents, every milestone a new baby reaches is incredibly exciting, and sometimes we can get impatient and even start worrying long before we should. To get out in front of that tendency, let's lay out the average schedule of baby teeth development and eruption.
The process of growing teeth (called odontogenesis) begins in week six of pregnancy and continues after the teeth have begun erupting because the roots still have some growing to do. Babies typically get their teeth two by two, starting with the bottom front teeth somewhere between six and ten months old. Next are usually the top front teeth between months eight and twelve. After that, they get their bottom lateral incisors, then the top lateral incisors.
You might expect the canines to be next, but nope! Next up are the lower molars, then the upper molars, and only then is it time for the canines. Completing the set of baby teeth is the second set of molars, which will usually arrive by age three.
There's no need to worry if baby teeth seem slow to arrive, but if there still aren't any by the 18-month mark, a dentist should take a look. No matter whether teeth are early or late, though, bring them to the dentist once the first tooth erupts!
Time for a fresh start! Remember to change your toothbrush if it's frayed or every 3 months for a healthier smile.
Share a vacation that’s been unforgettable for you!

Anyone who swims or scuba dives frequently could encounter some unique dental issues if they aren't careful. Let's take a closer look at the big ones.
The longer teeth are exposed to acidic chlorine ions in pool water, the more likely they are to develop brown or yellow stains. These are called swimmer's calculus. As good as chlorine is at keeping a public pool sanitary for all swimmers, it can become acidic enough to affect tooth enamel. Swimmers can minimize this effect by swimming with their mouths closed as much as possible and drinking plenty of water to rinse traces of pool water off of their teeth.
Scuba divers have a different set of concerns, particularly "tooth squeeze" or barodontalgia. That feeling of pressure building up in the ears when diving to the bottom of the pool is very similar to what happens inside each tooth, especially teeth with untreated cavities or ineffective dental treatment. The pressure can build to such a degree that it can even fracture teeth, which is why we strongly encourage divers to visit the dentist before starting a new diving season.
Divers often also deal with ill-fitting scuba mouthpieces, which can lead to jaw strain and even TMD symptoms. We recommend getting a custom-fitted mouthpiece to protect the teeth and jaws.
If you’re wondering if you should floss today, the answer is YES! Daily flossing keeps your smile healthy and bright.

Dental anxiety keeps millions of people from seeking dental treatment every year, and it affects kids too. Parents can help their kids develop a positive mindset about the dentist by following a few simple tips:
1. Start early. As soon as a child has their first tooth, they can benefit from seeing the dentist.
2. Play pretend. For young children, some imaginative play can help this new experience seem less intimidating. Take turns with them playing the role of the dentist and the patient.
3. Explain to older kids. Kids will be more comfortable when they understand the situation, so if they're old enough, simply explain what dental visits are like and why they're important for their teeth.
4. Prioritize dental hygiene. If kids already understand how brushing and flossing keep their smiles healthy, they are more likely to appreciate what the dentist can do for them.
5. Come meet the dentist ahead of time. Instead of diving straight into the dental exam and cleaning, schedule a meet-and-greet so that the dentist won't feel like such a stranger!
6. Be there for them. The easiest way to make the first few dental appointments less scary is by coming along and being present in the exam room to offer support and encouragement.
