I took all of mine to the dentist around age 1yr old whether they had teeth or not. My youngest was also late with cutting her first teeth and the dentist reassured me that all teeth were present in the jaw.

That is slow tooth grow for sure! Mine had a mouthful of teeth at this age, I would suggest a dental check

LOL if you have to ask, you must be worried about it, so go to the dentist – it is also a great way for your child to get used to going….

I would take him to get checked out

I would take him to the dentist around 12 mths anyway to build some familiarity with the process but with the lack of teeth I would definitely be making an appointment even if it is only to allay your concerns.

there are some good comments here

maybe just wait a little longer and see what happens

babies teeth at different rates, our son started teething at 3 months and his twin cousins were much older and only had a couple of teeth at 12 months. Introduce your son to the dentist when you go for a checkup.

What did you decide to do?

did you end up taking him?

they say it is good practice to get baby’s used to going to the dentist but I wouldn’t be worried about the teeth coming through yet

Did you end up taking him? Any more teeth?

I would wait till he is around two, unless you are worried about something I would wait.

Every child is different, just wait a little longer

How are you going now? Does he have more teeth?

Don’t worry too much, this is not an abnormal thing. In saying that it is great to take bubs to the dentist yearly from 12 months onwards to get them used to the dentist to avoid a phobia

Hope you were able to get some reassurance

You can always ask about it at your next check up but I wouldn’t be too worried.. Each child is different my little one had her first at 3.5 months – so it can go either way. You might get lucky and they might just all pop up at once for him

don’t stress hun, all children develop at different times. My youngest is a few weeks off of 2 years old and she only has her four front teeth top and bottom and one molar. the longer it takes for their teeth to come through, the better their teeth will be. or so I’ve been told. But at the end of the day if you are still concerned talk to your doctor. good luck.

Don’t stress its normal and really the later they get their teeth the better. Don’t go to unnecessary cost and stress when its not needed, save it for when it is!
