good to hear - as i thought he was going to not get the bottom 3 and 4 as his cousin is missing bottom 1 -4 and has to have false ones made!

The books and charts all have an typical order of when teeth come in. However, my DD got them all in the wrong order and didn't even get her first tooth until she was 13 months.

Only one of my dd2 teeth appeared at the bottom then the next one was one at the top/middle and then the next one at the bottom in the middle now she has the other top middle one growing!! She looked really funny with 1 tooth on top and bottom.
So i dont think they are meant to come in a certain order!!
