1 Year Old with Only 2 Teeth

Hi, my daughter didn't get her first tooth til she was 1 then a short time, she got the other and didn't get the others for awhile. They say, the later they get their teeth in the better. I was feeling the same way you seem to be, but I wouldn't worry about it really. Kids grow and change differently in so many ways. Hope this gives you a peace of mind.

Ha! I was just thinking of a similar question myself... my daughter just turned one on Oct 10th and has NO teeth! I asked the pediatrician at her 1-yr checkup (since my son started getting teeth at 5 months of age) and she said not to worry at all and that she has had some kids that were as old as 18 months before getting teeth. So...no worries. They will come :)

My friend's son is 14 months - no teeth :) He's just starting to get them. My daughter is 11 months - has 6! Every kid is different, I wouldn't worry :)

Best to you!

lol. this is a funny question, but what do you think there is to do about it? you cant make teeth come out! LOL

what i would say is feel lucky. the longer they are in the stronger they are. a lot of kids rot their teeth right out of their mouths at an early age, ive even known a 3 year old who needed extensive dental work (granted, mom let him drink coke).

so just have patience. im going to assume that sometime soon those teeth will all want to come out at once, save your worries and troubles for that, thats going to stink! or, they will come out slowly and you wont hardly notice it, who knows.
good luck!

On average a baby will have more teeth than that by one year, but it's not uncommom to have less. I wouldn't fret too much. At your next well baby check just mention it to the Dr. My youngest was about 18 months had all her molers and was getting her top eye teeth before she got all her bottom teeth in the front. Kind-of a weird order to get teeth in but each child is different.

Not to worry, my niece was just days after her first birthday when she finally popped her first teeth.. They say the longer it takes for them to come in the healthier teeth they will have. I have no idea if that is true or not but I wouldnt worry a bit.

My younger son got his teeth later than his peers. He's 9 now, so I don't remember anymore how old he was when he got them. However, he has been losing his baby teeth late, too. He still has plenty of them left in his mouth!

I wouldn't be concerned about it. My daughter was 11 1/2 months before she got her first tooth. The rest all came in rather quickly. The doctors said it wasn't anything to worry about. I've also been told that the later their teeth come in, the healthier the teeth are! My daughter is now 6 years old and has yet to lose her first baby tooth, so that too will be later than most kids her age. :)

I use to be a photographer at Proex and I have seen babies 15mos.old with NO teeth at all. My youngest is 12mos. and she is just now getting ALL her teeth at once like bamn bamn bamn.. every kid is different.

Babies get their teeth at different times. My 1 year old has 6 teeth but I have 4-5 friends whose kids at 1 year still didn't have any. I wouldn't worry about it, they will come.

All kids develop at different rates... I know of kids who had 8 teeth at 5 months old, and others who had 2-4 teeth until closer to 2 years old. I wouldn't worry too much about it...

My youngest didn't get his first tooth until he was 13 months old! Don't worry, they will all come soon enough. What I did find with my youngest is that he had a harder time teething because once it started they all seemed to start coming at once, instead of being more spread out as with my older child who started teething at 7 months. Good luck!

Slow teeth are good teeth!

All three of my kids turned a year old before walking or getting teeth. I am sure she is fine. :-)

I wouldn't worry about it - I was 18 months old before I got ANY teeth! And I think it is true that the later they come in the stronger they are, I didn't get a cavity until I was in college and then it was only a 'pit' - not a full blown cavity.

My daughter didn't have any teeth until two weeks after her first birthday. Then, she just had those two for months. At around 16 months she got a whole bunch at one time, which actually went fairly well. She was a little crabby, but it was all at one time. Now she get another tooth or two every once in a while. I wouldn't worry.

Calm down mom, children will get their teeth when they are ready. My son was almost 18 months before he starting really getting teeth. If after two years then I might worry but right know just enjoy your DD.
