first tooth

Infant's dental debut

A child's first tooth is the initial baby tooth to emerge through the gums, typically appearing around six months of age.

The milestone often occasions celebration and, in many cultures, triggers the tooth fairy tradition when eventually lost.

The baby's first tooth came in last week.
