Probably nothing to worry about..but i have to ask

[Jacqui22]

Hey All

This is probably a silly question and probably nothing to worry about but i just need to ask. My daughter is 9 months old and she still has no teeth, all other babies i know are usually on their 3rd or 4th by now...should i worry or am i being silly??

Thanks

"should i worry"

NO.

mine only had 2 by the age of 1, and now 2 still has about 4 to come. i wouldn't worry about it to much - its not as if there is anyhtign you can do to speed things up !!

no dont worry I know some people whos babies havent got any by their first birthday.

I knew someone whose two year old only had 4 teeth.

My DS got his first tooth at 10 months. It's no problem.

my dd dint get any till 9 months her friend didnt get any till 13 months. kids all different

My dd got her first tooth on her first birthday. They are all there now and very lovely though she's very keen for them to start wobbling....

I had no teeth till I was 2 1/2. DS got his 1st at 11/12, niece was 14/12. Conclusion: late teething family. Don't worry, dentists apparently not concerned until 2 yrs or so.

My 15 month old only has 2 and 1/2 teeth! My eldest was over three before he got all of his. I certainly wouldn't worry, they are all different, think of your baby as being unique!

Forgot to add my 15 month old was 13 months before the first tooth came!

No nothing to worry about friends dd didnt get any teeth till 13 months and then got loads all together!

my ds didn't have any teeth til he was 1. The slower the teeth come in the stronger they are apparently.

Dont worry dd was nealy 10mths - then the just kept popping up week after week. Like buses really!

My ds was near to his second birthday when he cut his first tooth. Don't worry all children are different.

My daughter didn't get her first tooth until she was 2 years and 2 months old. She is now 6 and a half and has all her milk teeth. She is more concerned that they are not falling out yet like her friends' teeth. The dentist says she will be late losing them. My son is a year old this week and still has no teeth. Looks like he will take after his big sister and his dad who was a late teether.

baba - mine is 7 and a half and her front teeth are worn away to two teeny, laughable little stumps - and there is still no sign of them falling out!! at least she's lost two bottom ones (a few months ago). she was prem, so i presume there is a link.

dd1 got her first tooth at 13 months

was told she may be later than average losin them

well er yes, she has just lost her two bottom front ones, her first two teeth to be lost, she is nine in march

thanks for that queen - fascinating!! will see if we can beat that record on the top teeth front at our end
