yet another boring teeth thread - when do I worry?

DD2 is 19 months old. She has 4 teeth up top but only her middle two teeth down bottom, and now she's getting her pre-molars. Shouldn't she have more bottom teeth by now?
When do I start to worry, or is it perfectly normal to get them in an odd order?!
They look so vulnerable down there by themselves as she throws herself around.

its fine, you'll possible find she gets the rest nearly all together. Don't sweat it!

Dd is 2.2 was fairly late getting any teeth. She's had 4 uppers and 4 lowers for absolutely ages, yesterday noticed about 4 new teeth coming through at once. I wouldn't worry too much, some one told me the later teeth come through the stronger they are. Not sure if there's any truth to it.

Thanks guys. She doesn't seem especially unhappy and eats fine, but they look so vulnerable, and there's no telltale whiteness under the gums to suggest anything is coming.

DS is 15mo, and he has 4 top and 4 bottom which he basically got over a period of three weeks around 10mo, and has had nothing since. No sign of anything else coming through either.

DD2 was very late getting any teeth.

She is now (i think consequently) very late to lose her baby teeth She is the last in her year, and still none look wobbly.

I'm sure it will happen (for your DD and mine! Grin)
