Baby teeth

[MotherofCats22]

My youngest daughter turned 1 last week and she’s only got her two front bottom teeth, she constantly seems to be teething but nothing ever comes through. My older daughter had 5 or 6 teeth by her first birthday so im not sure if i should be concerned or not.

Has anyone else had a late teether? If so, when did their teeth come through?

IIRC mine didn't get their first teeth till about 10 months. Subsequently all their teeth have come through late, by the time they were getting their back adult molars in their early teens they were probably about. 2 years later than average. That's an advantage, teeth fit better in a fully grown face and a bit of extra maturity can mean better care of the adult teeth.

Your daughters sound both to be well within the range of normal. There does come a point if a baby has no teeth through that it's worth seeing a dentist who can advise when investigations are indicated (eg xrays to show the teeth are forming normally). I'm not sure what age that is, but older than 12 months at least I think.

Thank you for that! I will give it a few more months and then contact the dentist if no more teeth have come through!
