    Exclamation Teeth coming in in the wrong order???

    Hi!

    I hope someone can help with this!
    DS#2 is going to be 9 months old on the 25th!
    He has his two bottom front teeth in now (the second one just broke through the skin a few days ago) and I thought perhaps we would get a break from the teething for a few weeks before the top front teeth come in.

    Now just this morning I noticed that his top left incisor tooth is coming in - the point has already broken through the skin.

    According to the little chart on the rusks box he isn't supposed to get his incisor teeth until he is between 18-24 months old!!

    So what is going on???
    And should I be worried at all??

    Anyone else have kids get their teeth in the wrong order???

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I'm a little bit worried!!

    Lucys are cross cutting. Her eye teeth are coming through 1st!

    I saw my MCHN today and she said not to worry, its rare but every bub is different. Its only a majority that get them in the 'correct' order

    dont stress
    My DD1 got her bottom two then her top two fangs(incisers) she didnt get her front two for ages so she looked like a little vampire it was so cute.
    the doctor was always looking in her mouth because its rare apparently
    but now she has lovely normal teeth

    Cutting teeth out of "order" is quite common so don't stress, though it makes you wonder where to put the bonjela

    My DS1 got his top two teeth first, DS3 got eye teeth before molars and my DD got all 4 molars before getting upper and lower side.

    LOL this is nothing to worry about at all. I got all my teeth out of order and I am a perfectly well adjusted individual with lovely normal teeth.

    NB: I didn't get my first tooth (a top tooth) until I was 14 months old but I had all of them, including 2 year old molars, by the time I was 20 months. Poor Mum.

    The "order" is just the order the majority of babies get their teeth, to get them in a different order may not be common but it is not uncommon either.

    Don't stress, it's all fine, I promise.
