Almost 18months and still no teeth!

[Suzie1411]

My son is almost 18months and still has no teeth.
He has been 'teething' for months on end but still nothing.

Anyone got any ideas?
How old are they ment to be befor it become a serious problem?

Hi, well there is a broad range in what's considered normal I believe but even so 18 months does seem late. Have you spoken to a dentist, dr or hv?

Spoke to the nurse she did not seem too concerned, but she was not a HV. Thinking of taking him to the docs!

Suzie they won't worry about it until he turns 2. I don't know if you saw the other thread but my nephew has no teeth (at gone 2) and although he has different issues, before they knew that and they kept taking him to gp and dentist they were always told to bring him back when he was 2. The only thing they can do is to x ray to see if teeth are there and they won't do that when he's still so little.

HTH :)
