Question:  My baby is only 13 week old but I was wondering when he will get his first tooth?

Answer:  Normally babies get their first tooth around six months, but it can appear as early as three months or as late as 14 months. Typically, babies get teeth in pairs and they generally emerge in this order:

*  The bottom front teeth (incisors)

*  The top front teeth (incisors)

*  The bottom side teeth (incisors) and the upper side ones

*  The first molars (grinding teeth at the back of the mouth)

*  The canines (pointed teeth next to incisors)

*  The second molars

But every child is different.  By age two 1/2, most children will have about 20 teeth.
