When will my baby get teeth?

“Baby” teeth are the twenty primary teeth that emerge before we start getting our adult teeth. Some people call primary teeth “milk teeth.”  These teeth begin emerging on average from 6 months-the (lower front incisors) and continue emerging with the last (usually the second baby molar) emerging at 30 months. 

Here is a great chart from the ADA that shows the average age baby teeth erupt and also the average age the tooth is lost.
