Quite unusual to not have them by 3.
Has she been to the dentist? I'd imagine they aren't far away! Ds was 2.5 btw.

Yes she's been to the dentist twice, she got her first tooth at 14mths, so has always been quite late with them. Dentist said they will come when they come and its ok cos they are more protected inside the gums?!

Just wondering when the average age was for them to pop through!

Thanks for the reply

DS is 3 in April and still hasn't got his. Dentist said they'd come when they came.

average for second baby molars is 2-2.5. but don't worry they will come when they are ready. She's obviously late with her teeth, its really not a big deal.... hth

DTs had their upper and lower molars in by 15th month, thought that was strangely early . Toothy little things they are....
