When baby teeth come in do they come in pairs?

my 8 month old got her first tooth on thanksgiving, but my mom said she should of had two, is this true?

When baby teeth come in do they come in pairs?
My children's teeth came out one by one. Each child is different. My children "sprouted" 7 teeth (4 on top 3 on bottom) then waited a couple months before getting the rest. Don't worry about it.





Following is from "What To Expect The First Year"


For one child it may be a long, drawn out affair for another it may seem to pass with a single wave of the wand in the middle of a restful night.


On the average the first TOOTH arrives sometime during the seventh month (or as early as the 3rd month or as late as the 12th month).

Reply:No. they pop out all over the place.
Reply:No, that is not true.
Reply:NO THEY CAN COME ANYTIME, EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT
Reply:My son got his first tooth at 5 months and the second at 6 months and he had 3 teeth, one on bottom and 2 on top till he was a year old. Wivestales! Every child is different.
Reply:It's not exactly pairs. Generally one side will show up shortly before it's opposite comes in. They will get two then take a break get the next two and so on. After the first eight fronts get in they'll get a set of molars so there'll be a small gap tat's normal too and will fill in shortly.
Reply:Teeth usually come a few days apart. I wouldn;t worry about it too much. worry more about the pain she's in (and the sleepless nights you'r having) as she cuts her teeth.
Reply:not most the time. they normally come in one at a time.
Reply:Usually the first baby teeth to come into the mouth are the two bottom front teeth. They begin to appear when your child is about 6 to 8 months old. They are followed by the 4 upper front teeth. The remainder of your baby’s teeth will appear periodically, usually in pairs on each side of the jaw, until the child is about 2 1/2 years old.





By the time your child is 2 ½ years old, all 20 baby teeth will most likely have come in. From this point until the child is 5 to 6 years of age, his/her first permanent teeth will begin to erupt. Some of the permanent teeth replace baby teeth, others don't.





The following picture shows approximately when each baby tooth should erupt. Do not worry if some teeth are a few months early or late. Every child is different.
