Hi wondering if anyone could help my dd is 22 months and still needs 4 more teeth to come out
There is 5 other children in are family around same age and all have there full set is this something to worry about we currently are waiting for check ups at dentist as changed with moving am hoping am just being over concerned . Thanks

No, don't worry. Are you sure all the other children have all 20 of theirs? As it is the back ones that come in last, you wouldn't notice unless you deliberately looked into their mouths. DS was 24-26 months when he got these last 4, if its any consolation.

She is the youngest by 4 months so I should just give her time but I should of said 4 more front teeth sorry 2 bottom and 2 top can see them under her gums but nothing coming through as you say she has got a few more months maybe I should worry thanks

Is it the canines (third along) that are missing? These are often quite late coming through.

Yes, you generally get a premolar before the canines.
