Teething Timeline: What to Expect
Teething can be a challenging phase, but it’s also an exciting milestone as your baby’s first ‘milk’ teeth start to emerge. As experts in oral health since 1925, Bickiepegs has developed a comprehensive teething chart to help parents track their baby’s tooth development.
Just as you measure your child’s height, why not record the dates of their first teeth and track their progress with our Bickiepegs Teething Chart?

Fun Facts About Baby Teeth
✔ First teeth are smaller and brighter white than permanent teeth.
✔ The visible part of the tooth above the gum is called the crown, covered in hard, shiny enamel.
✔ Enamel is the hardest substance in the body, protecting the sensitive inner parts of the tooth.
✔ The timing of first teeth is hereditary—if you cut teeth early, your baby may too!
✔ Humans usually have 20 baby (milk) teeth and 32 adult teeth.
What Holds Baby Teeth in Place?
Baby teeth are securely held in the mouth by three important structures:
Gingiva (Gums) – The soft tissue surrounding the teeth, providing protection and support.
Alveolar Bone – The jawbone that holds teeth in their sockets.
Periodontal Ligament – A flexible tissue that connects the tooth root to the bone, absorbing pressure from chewing.
