I have heard these teeth also be called milk teeth and eyeteeth. She is 5 1/2 months old, and breastfeeds. She drinks her juice from a cup with my help, and eats number 2 level baby foods. She is vigorously chewing on fingers and toys in the sides of her mouth and I have noticed the top right canine is showing a white mark the way my son's gums did before his teeth broke through. Is it strange or wrong for these to come in first?

No, even though most people belive that the top or bottom center teeth should be the first of the teeth to come in, The child can have almost any of the front area, upper or lower set of teeth to come in first. ( A tell tell sign is how the child is teething.)

All babies are different and there teeth are no exception. Some kids start teething really early and others don't. My son is 10 months and his first tooth finally pooped out -- top front tooth. I have 4 kids, 2 got the bottom teeth first and 2 got the top teeth first. The thing you should be worrying about is the breastfeeding and teething. Luckily I haven't got bit yet and I wish you the same luck.

It is very strange for those teeth to come in first. My first daughter got her canines when she was about 18 months old, after she got her first set of molars.
It may not be a big deal however. I'd call a pediatric dentist just to be sure because that is so unusual.

The eye teeth are the ones directly on either side of the two big front teeth. The canines are the ones on the outside of those (the sharp ones). I think they can come in in any order they want. :) My younger son got his eye teeth first. He was SO cute for the longest time--we called them his "fangs."

hey, my little boy got his bottom middle two first and then he got two more up the top but they were the canines. It is normal so dont worry. They just look like little vampires for a while. He is now getting his middle ones and they are coming doing straight and just fine. So dont worry. its called cross teething i think

no, it happened to my daughter when she was about six months old, it's a bit strange cause they look like little vampires, but is normal, her front teeth will eventually come out. Don't worry.

Best person to relieve your concerns is his pediatrician. It IS early for the canines to be coming in....but that doesn't mean it's a problem. Good luck.

Well, it's normal for the bottom center to come in first....but it's not ABNORMAL for others to come in first. I know this is going to sound crazy but my oldest daughter got a BACK tooth in first. I was totally freaked out....lol. But, I called MY dentist and they said that while it's rare, it does happen. So, don't worry....every baby is different.....

No...it's not strange at all. I thought my daughter's were coming through, and so I asked her ped about this. I guess it happens all the time.
