POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Yes, it is not uncommon for babies to get their lateral incisors (the teeth next to the central incisors) as their first teeth. While the central incisors typically come in first for most babies, the order in which teeth erupt can vary. Some babies may get their lateral incisors or even molars before the central incisors.
The eruption of teeth can vary widely among children, and as long as your baby is otherwise healthy and there are no other concerns, this variation in tooth eruption order is usually not a cause for worry. It's important to continue practicing good oral hygiene as soon as teeth begin to erupt, such as gently brushing with a soft toothbrush and using a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice).
If you have any concerns about your baby's dental development or if you notice any unusual symptoms or delays in tooth eruption, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your pediatrician or a pediatric dentist. They can provide guidance and ensure that your baby's dental health is on track.
