The kitten teething process takes place over the first few months of a kitten’s life. In this article we’ll show you a kitten teething age chart & diagram, discuss kitten teething symptoms, and toys and tools you can use to help your furbabe through the process. Let’s dig our teeth into the topic!

Baby kittens are born with no teeth. They nurse from their mothers (or are bottlefed formula if needed). Between 3 and 4 weeks of age, kittens have their first set of teeth start to erupt. These 26 teeth are sometimes called milk teeth or deciduous teeth. This just means that these “baby teeth” will fall out later as the kitten’s permanent teeth emerge.

Kittens normally start eating solid wet food around 45 weeks of age, as more of their teeth emerge. The teeth come in starting from the front, with the incisors, and working to the back through the canines (sharp pointy teeth) to the kitten premolars.

Between 5 and 8 weeks old, kittens will have a full set of 26 baby teeth. But not for long! These milk teeth soon loosen and begin to fall out to make way for the kitten’s permanent teeth. You don’t often see a kitten’s tooth after it falls out, because they normally just get swallowed by the kitten rather than spit out.

Around 12 weeks , you many start to see some of those baby teeth loosen. Between 3 and 4 months of age, a kitten’s incisors begin to be replaced with permanent adult teeth. Following the incisors, a kitten’s adult canines come in, then the premolars, and then molars. A kitten will have replaced all 26 baby teeth with 30 permanent teeth by 6 or 7 months of age. The extra 4 teeth in the permanent set are the molars. The set of kitten baby teeth are missing two molars on top and two molars on bottom.

Kittens have 26 baby teeth that come in over the first 8 weeks of their life. On the top, they have 6 incisors in the middle. These look like tiny little bumps. They also have two longer sharper canines on either side of the incisors. Behind the canines, there are three premolars on each side of a kitten’s top jaw. The premolars each have slightly different shapes.

On the bottom, kittens again have 6 tiny incisors in the middle. Then comes one canine on each side, followed by 2 premolars on each side.

Kittens do not have baby molars. But once their baby teeth fall out, they will gain a set of 4 molars (2 on top and 2 on bottom) with their permanent teeth. Behind each set of premolars, top and bottom left and right, there is one molar.

Kittens are born with no teeth. Their first full set of 26 baby teeth emerge by 8 weeks of age, only to start falling out again by 12 weeks old. You can estimate a kitten’s age by teeth by referencing the chart below. See the image above for clarity on which teeth are positioned where in the kitten’s mouth. Determining how far along a kitten is in the teething process will give you a reasonably small age window for the kitten.

Teething is fortunately a quick process for kittens, and usually uneventful. Kittens who are teething may experience sore gums as the teeth emerge. This may lead to a few unusual behaviors. Some kittens may drool as new teeth erupt, and some may meow in complaint of the pain of teething. If the kitten is uncomfortable enough, she may avoid eating dry food for a few days.
