"... I was wondering what the usual sequence for teething is anyway. Well - as it turns out the good people of the "Journal of American Dental Association" already did some research back in 1974 to answer exactly that question.
Eruption Sequence of baby teeth (also called "Deciduous Teeth" or "Primary Teeth") in months after birth:
Teeth
Average "eruption" time (in months after birth)
1) Lower central incisor=8 months
2) Upper central incisor=10 months
3) Upper lateral incisor=11 months
4) Lower lateral incisor=13 months
5) Lower first molar=16 months
6) Upper first molar=16 months
7) Upper canine=19 months
8) Lower canine=20 months
9) Lower second molar=27 months
10) Upper second molar=29 months
Eruption time averages have been calculated among the general population (US). They are average values, so the variation can range ±6 months."

Yay! I am glad it finally came through. Hopefully the worst is over.
Yeah-my little stinker has 7, and the eighth just 'erupted'. He's only 11 months old! Nursing had to be cut short for this kid for obvious reasons.
HOORAY FOR KAMI!!! The Dentist I used to work for always said it's a good thing when their teeth come in later. It's supposedly means that they will have healthier teeth! I don't know how true that is, but here's to hoping she never gets cavities!!!
p.s. Those two girls are SO DANG CUTE!! I love their little smiles!
Yeah for Kami!! D was my only one who got his teeth super early and now he's ahead of everyone with them falling out, I think he was the only one with no teeth in his class!! LOL
