Answer:
A baby is usually born with no visible teeth in their mouth. However, in a newborn baby, there are 20 fully formed milk teeth or primary teeth lying underneath the gums. These teeth loosen and fall out between the ages of 6 to 10 years to give way to adult teeth.

Milk teeth emerge through a baby's gums during the first couple of years of life. By the time the infant is aged 2.5 to 3.0 years, all 20 of the milk teeth should have fully emerged. Milk teeth usually emerge in the following sequence:
The four front teeth, the central incisors, are the first teeth to emerge (two in each of the upper and lower jaw) and start to appear as early as six months after birth.
Next, two lateral incisors in the upper and lower jaws grow alongside the central incisors and by time a child reaches 15 months, they usually have a full set of eight incisors - the biting or cutting teeth.
Following this, the first molars appear, which help the baby grind food. Two first molars in each jaw emerge and are positioned one space away from the incisors to make room for the canines to grow in-between. The first molars should have developed by around the age of 19 months
The canine or cusped teeth follow, with two usually appearing in each jaw by the age of 23 months. These teeth are used for tearing and allow the baby to manage more textured foods.
Finally, the second molars appear, again two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw and complete the set of 20 milk teeth at around the age of 27 months.
