Does anyone else's baby have molars already?

My kiddo had all of her teeth (except her canines which she just got last month) since she was 17 months old.. some children just get them in sooner than others, same way some walk sooner than others.

This is a very old post but there is a typical timing for teeth and molars come in around a year. My daughter (like me) teethed early and had 8 teeth at 10 mo. when the first molar began pushing through. The molars typical come before the eye teeth and so there is space left between the front incisors and molars until those come in which is usually right after molars. Of course all babies are different. But typically those who get 1st teeth a little later close to a year get them all at once. 16 months is very normal for 1st molars to come in. By 18 mo. my daughter had 16 teeth.

my 17 month old son has 16 teeth and has since he was 13 months..he has 4 molars and now we are just waiting on the 2nd set as I am sure they will probably come earlier than 25-33 months.

My baby girl is 16mo. She has 4 top and 4 bottom. She just started getting her left first molar. She has been very grumpy and her excema has flaired up something fierce.

My daughter started getting her molars in at the end of her 12th month.

My daughter is 18 months old and had her front 8 teeth and then about a month ago noticed that actually 4 molars were coming in at the same time.

My son Levi has one molar on each side, and he cut these teeth around 13 months. Now that he is 17 months he has started to sprout almost all of the other teeth at once, which the pediatrician said is normal for children who don't cut their first tooth until around 9 months or so.

Yes, my little girl is work on 4 of them at once right now. Shes got eight front teeth. 4 up top 4 on bottm.

My 17 1/2 month old has all 4 first molars, her 3 front top teeth and 4 front bottom teeth.

So glad to hear that others are going through the same thing, its been 14 years since I've had a baby and did not remember their teeth coming in like this!! I cannot believe how many teeth Lauren is cutting at once especially since it took SO long for her to get her 1st tooth (poor baby!! - she's miserable, & so is Mommy)

Hi Claire:

My daughter does. After she received the 2 on top and the 2 on bottom she cut her molars on the top. She is the only one of my kids who is doing things "out of order" as far as cutting teeth. She just cut the other 2 front on the bottom and is now possibly working on the other 2 up top. Her mouth is full of white ridges though, would just with they would all pop through.

my baby has almost all his teeth already..his 8 incisors, has 4 canines coming in, and 8 molars...

Tricia - posted on 03/30/2010

I have a 17 month old and she has 4 top teeth in front and 2 on bottom and the other day she cut 3 molars 2 on top and 1 on bottom :) so i guess its never too early right :) she also didnt get ehr first tooth till she was 12 months old though i dont know if that makes any difference

Oh my daughter LOVES to floss.... We have to hide the floss because she wants to floss constantly and I am worried about her having the floss....

Jessica - posted on 03/30/2010

mt dd has 4 upper front, both first molars, 2 bottom front, 1 molar out and 1 nearly erupted. she loves to 'floss' sippy straws through the gap lol

Dana - posted on 03/30/2010

My daughter had only 6 teeth in front until she was about 14 months old and then in one week she got 3 molars and one more bottom front tooth. The next week, the next molar came in and the week after that she got her 4th bottom front tooth.

Lorrie - posted on 03/29/2010

my daughter is 17 months and has had 8 teeth in the front for a while. But a month ago she started getting 8 teeth, including molars, all at once. She is in daycare with a 9 month old that has more teeth than her.

my daughter is 17 months and has had her molars for some time now. every child is different, as long as ur little one is healthy thats all that matters :)

My almost 18 month old ONLY has the upper 2 molars right now!

Julie - posted on 03/26/2010

HI. My daughter Selena is going through the same thing. She has always been a happy little baby but lately she just cries alot ! Her gums are so swollen from the molars. She also has her front top and bottom teeth. She's had a pretty miserable cold on top of this for the past 3 weeks. Poor thing. I don't remember going through this much with my 6 and 4 year olds. Good luck!

Jessica - posted on 03/26/2010

My daughter has had her front four teeth forever and 2 months ago she got 4 molars i was worried at first but her dr said its perfectly normal :)

Netty - posted on 03/26/2010

my daughter has just not long gotten her 6th tooth and her gums up the back are swollen as.she's in so much pain with them too

Claire - posted on 03/25/2010

Well everyone, in the last two months since this conversation started, our little guy still has 4 top front teeth, two front bottom teeth, two top molars and one bottom molar. I stuck my finger in this morning to put on some orajel and discovered 5 more molars just coming through! No wonder he's been in such a bad mood this week!

I've enjoyed all of your stories and hope we all get through it bite-free :)

Hi Clare,



my son will be 17 mpnths old in 4 days and has 4 front teeth and already 4 molars. It is normal, don't worry.

Vikki - posted on 03/25/2010

my son, who is 17 months yesterday, has all his teeth already! I do have a friend who has a girl who is just over 12 mos and has 4 front teeth and is cutting molars. all babies are different, so no worries! perhaps your baby mushes a lot of food in the back and has stimulated them to come up early.

Danielle - posted on 03/25/2010

yes my son was only 14 months when he got his molars, he only has 6 in the front as well and he is just now getting his eye teeth. the doctor says it is totally normal because different kids teeth come in at different points in time. some babys can even be born with teeth.

Melissia - posted on 03/25/2010

My daughter just turned 17 months, & she is getting hers. Well she has been for the past few weeks. She has only 8 teeth in front

Christina - posted on 03/25/2010

yes my daughter just started getting her first set of molars a few weeks ago, shortly after she turned 17 months. she has her top 4 teeth, and only two on the bottom front. she even has a set of molars coming in on the right side of her upper mouth. i wouldn't say it's too early, just be glad your baby is getting teeth! i know some two years olds who are barely cutting teeth! :)

Sonja - posted on 03/25/2010

My 16 month old daughter has 8 front teeth and 4 molars, which she cut with no difficulty. However the pointy front ones are giving her grief and she is cranky.

TIFFANY - posted on 03/25/2010

My 17mth old got five teeth at one time and also got all four molars at once. Its weird because the dentist said that normally they dont' get their molars until they are two or older, but it is become more common

Aissa Ong - posted on 03/25/2010

My baby is 17 months old and his molar came out 1 month ago, all 4 of them. His teeth comes out 4 at a time , though.

Amilia - posted on 03/25/2010

My twins are 16.5 months and my son got his already with 8 teeth in front he is working on the last botom one. My daughter has only 8 front no molars yet but soon!

Kendra - posted on 03/25/2010

my son (17mon) has all of his teeth except 2 eye-teeth and he is cutting them right now. It's been a bunch of drool!!!

Lerato - posted on 03/25/2010

My daughter will be 16 months next week and her molars made an entry, but she still has 4 teeth in the fromt with 2 more showing signs of coming out. All babies develop differently

Amy - posted on 03/24/2010

yep. mine has four little front teeth, then a gap, and two bottom molars. They came in so slowly and painfully and her nose was running for 2 weeks straight, everyone was telling me she must have allergies. she was such a trouper. I couldn't believe when I saw them coming in!

Sarah - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter is getting her 3rd and 4th molars at 17 months. She is currently up to ELEVEN teeth! It's been a long first year.....

Loes - posted on 03/24/2010

my 17.5 month old has all molars and just cut both bottom incisors

they all come at their own pace ;)

good luck with the teething issues...

Nikki - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter is the same 16 months almost 17 months has 6 teeth, four on top and her two middle on bottom... and she is getting her molars on the bottom, they already broke through. I thought the same but looks like our kids are right on track.

Fiona - posted on 03/24/2010

My son is 17 months now and we are pretty sure he is getting his molars. He wont let me look in his mouth but he has all the classic teething signs. Drooling, unsettled at night, grizzly and smelly wee.

I dont think it is unusual for your 16 month to be getting them.

Jolene - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter has four molars. Still missing several front teeth. They'll come. No biggie.

Brita - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter is 17 months old and has 8 teeth up front, and started cutting her first molar about a month ago, and her second molar probably about 2 weeks ago.

Michele - posted on 03/24/2010

My girls have almost all of their teeth in (or already cut and growing in), the last two that they are working on are their canines, which they are starting to cut now.

Annee - posted on 03/23/2010

my son has the front 4 teeth on top and bottom and has 4 molars in but is not getting his canine teeth in

Jennifer - posted on 03/23/2010

My 16 month old has 4 front on top, 4 front on bottom.. then she has empty places and then her molars! She looks kinda silly :) She's had her molars since she was about 14 months old. Now she's cutting the rest very slowly but all at once.

Tonya - posted on 03/23/2010

I thought it was kind of early too, my son has 4 bottom teeth and 2 on top, but recently he started getting 2 more top teeth and 2 top molars at the same time... & yes he is super cranky and some times refuses to eat which is not normal for him so they must be quite painful! Poor babies!

Emma - posted on 03/23/2010

My bub who is almost 17 months has had all 16 teeth since 14 months. He cut all four incisors and all four molars within 2 weeks of each other.



Its not uncommon for them not to come in 'order'. :)
