When baby gets teeth in is it normal for them to get their upper lateral incisors in first?

My baby is 10 months old and he is getting his upper lateral incisors in first (the tooth next to the 2 front teeth). He has one that is already out on his right side, that would be next to his 2 top front teeth and the one on his left side is starting to come out. I always thought the bottom two came out fist.

My daughter did the same thing i never heard of babies getting those teeth first but the dentist said its okay
Reply:I have had 4 babies, there is no rhyme or reason to what teeth come out first. Your baby is perfectly normal.
Reply:That does sound unusal. Normaly its the front 4 (top/bottom) teeth come in first. But the longer it takes for them to come in the stronger they will be. Still not sure, talk to your childs doctor
Reply:It doesn't matter what teeth come in first as long as they all come sometime or another. I have 2 younger sisters and each one had different teeth come in at different times and different places. I have one that is 3 and has all her teeth already and the other one i 7 and got all hers by the time she was like 4 or 5
Reply:You're right, the bottom two do usually come first (and fall out first as well), but I'm sure your baby isn't the first to have this happen. I definitely wouldn't worry about it, there's always an exception, but just take him to a dentist to be sure (a pediatric dentist, preferably). I had all of my children seen at one-year-old anyway, just to have a sort of baseline exam done and to get their first teeth checked out.
Reply:Well, in general the two bottom ones come first, then the two top ones. But all babies are different and doesn't mean there's anything wrong. My son got his two bottom front first, then the incisors, then the two front ones. So for the longest time he looked like a very cute vampire. :)
Reply:i always thought the bottem 2 came in first but boy was i wrong. same happend with mine
