8 mths in 2 weeks and still no teeth!!!!!

Question

Hi all

Is it normal for my son not to have teeth yet?? He is 2 weeks off 8 mths. He is teething just no sign yet.

Answer 1

my freinds baby has her 1st birthday soon,,,no teeth yet lol

Answer 2

apparently, the later they get their teeth the stronger they are as they aren't exposed to acid, sugar, etc early on...my son had 1 tooth at 6 months, then didn't get any more until nearly 11 months. He's only just turned 1 and he has got 8 teeth - poor thing, they all came at once!

Answer 3

Kids don't follow normal rules, his teeth will come when they are ready. One of my kids had teeth at 6 months, another at about 13 months. You can't rush them through!

Answer 4

My son was over a year before his first tooth arrived and it didn't fall out until he was nearly eight, dentist said this was best as the later the first teeth come in then the later the second teeth come in and they are more important as you have them for life.

Answer 5

Every child has a different development time!

My grandaughter was 14 months before she had teeth!

She was late in all her development- she is now nearly 18! and looks wonderful!

Answer 6

Don't worry, it can take upto an year, but ask for your nearest dentist or doctor if no signs occur around the 10th month.

Hope I've helped you!

Answer 7

You have nothing to worry about. The central incisors (your two front teeth, top and bottom) are usually the first teeth to erupt, normally at 6.5-8 months, but everyone is different. If there is no sign of any teeth in six months or so, then you should be seeking advise from a dentist. At this stage, there is no cause for concern.

Answer 8

Don't worry! He will have them soon - no other way!. My oldest son had his first teeth when he was 1 year old
