Baby teeth - strange order!

[Prematurelyaging]

Hello, I've lurked on mumsnet for ages, but this is my first post!

I wonder if I can call upon you regular mumsnetters' experience on this, please... I am probably worrying about nothing, and in the grand scheme of things this probably isn't too important, but here goes.

DS2 (21 months) has 11 teeth - the four front top ones, all his first four molars, but only three front teeth at the bottom (the middle two and one to the left of the middle two). I am wondering if he isn't going to get the fourth bottom front one. Did that make sense?!

He did cut his teeth in a very peculiar order, molars before some of the front ones, and not in matching pairs as is usual. He has also been quite slow with cutting his teeth, but so was his brother and so was DH and myself.

Has anyone else had experience with their babies cutting teeth in a strange order, and in particular any tooth being really delayed - or not arriving at all?

Thank you!

Hi! DS1 cut teeth in an order that I was certain they would not all bet in! DS2 is just turned 2 and is has just cut his last one.... a lower canine.

Oh and he has and extra incisor (two teeth growing out of one apparant "socket" or whatever it is called!) so he has 21 teeth.

But a lovely smile still

Also, DS1 went to hell and back for every single one of his teeth but most of DS2's popped through virtually unoticed (even the doubler)!

my dd aged 2 has been having her 4th bottom front tooth comming through recently. She already has most of her other teeth. The dentisit told me before it came through that it may or may not appear, but if it doesn't that it didn't mean there wouldn't be an adult one there in time.

It has proved to be the most troublesome of her teeth though, it started comming through twisted and I think she was in a bit of pain with it, but OK now.

Thank you for your replies! I guess that children don't all follow the dentists' textbooks...
