How long does it take a babies first tooth to come in?

Question

My daughter has had her first bottom tooth coming in for a week now. It’s slowly breaking skin, how long does it take to fully emerge?

Answer

In my experience, from when you clearly see/feel it barely under the gums until it fully breaks the skin, up to a week. Once it breaks skin, itll take almost a month for the tooth to grow enough to resemble an actual tooth instead of just a white line on their gums. Molars are much slower, so a corner of the molar might pop through today, but the entirety of the molar may not be visible or pop through the gums until a month later and the molar might not be fully formed for another month after that.

Answer

My oldest's first tooth popped up a bit at 2 weeks old and it fully came up by 3 months. After that each tooth came up within 2 days after it started coming up. My youngest started getting her first tooth at 3 months and it took about 2 weeks to come up. She was a slow teether and then at 16 months she got 4 teeth all at once in about 3 days.

Answer

I’m wondering the same thing! Same with my son. The bottom two are just there. Google was no help either 😅
