My One Year Old Only Has Two Teeth.

Dont worry at all. My son didnt have any teeth till age 15 months. Now he's two with lots of teeth. Every child is different.

M.,

Iwouldn't be to concerned...every child is different. While my son has just barely 8 teeth at age 1, a friends chilf who is a week younger only has three. It all depends on the child, genetics. Just be patient...

My daughter just turned 1 on 8/7 and she only has 2 teeth on the bottom although she is getting her top two right now. Her first 2 came in around 9 months. Her ped is not concerned and I have heard many people say their babies are 1 with no teeth so I do not think it is anything to worry about!

M.,

My name is J. R., and if you need someone to talk to you can e-mail me at ____@____.com; or if you have a myspace my URL is momofsweetkids. Ahnyway back to your request. My youngest daughter did not cut the eight teeth that she has until she was like 13 months old and she cut all eight within 2 weeks time. My daughter did not walk until she was 14 months ol either. When she was not walking by her 1st birthday I asked her dr. about it. If the dr. is not worry about it then yes worry but not to much. They seem to know what they are talking about. Please keep me posted on what happens.

my daughter has her birthday in april she cut her first teeth christmas eve christmas day not amother til she was 3 but hey she is 16 now and her teeth are great all children grow both developmentally and physically at very diffrent stages there is no set of rules for parents to go by ya know i wish they had one and handed them out in the delivery room and all the children followed verbatim but then that takes their own unique charecteristics away and we all would wear the traditional uniform from birth same eye color same hair color all eat same time and same foods same allergies and same personalities and life would be so boring don't you think???? your darling baby girl will grow up to be a beautiful young woman before you know it seems like just yesterday she was an infant...my daughter is 16 but still a little girl yesterday she had her toncils out so her inquisitive nature got the best of her ans since she could not see back in her throat she took her finger in to see just how deep the holes were sounds like a little kid to me

good luck

Don't be concerned yet. My daughter was 14 mos before she got her first tooth. We went to the dentist and he said not to worry and that he believed they would all come in in the next 6 mos. And guess what? They did. They came in fast and furious.

My daughter didn't get her first tooth until after she was a year old. She is now three and has a mouth full of teeth. I wouldn't worry about anything, they will come in when they are ready. It took my daughter several months to get more in after the first few and it never caused a problem with her.

Hi. Don't worry about the teeth. My son still had no teeth when he turned one. Once they started coming in, it was like popcorn! They all came at once! Now he is 10 and has only lost 6 or 7 teeth. It's the same idea. Baby teeth were slow coming in, so the permenant teeth will be, too. It will all be fine! Listen to the Pediatrician!

I just wanted to add that my baby has been getting his new teeth about every other month. He had two teeth at seven months, four teeth at nine months and now almost six teeth at eleven months.

Let me know what you find out, my 13 month old finally got his 5th tooth today, he's had only 4 since he was 9 months old, two up and two down. My other child had most of his teeth by this time so I'm not sure what to think!

My son did the same thing, i wouldn't worry about it. I was always told the longer it takes to get there teeth the better they will be when they get older. I was concerned as well, he had only two teeth until one and a half then got the top two. He didn't get anymore until he turned two. He is now three and has a mouth full of teeth.

Don't worry, this is completely normal. My first two girls had all their teeth by the time they turned 1, but my third girl didn't get a tooth until she was 1. Every child is different, but I believe that once they start coming, they'll be one after another, maybe two or three at the same time. My middle daughter cut four teeth at the same time! So don't be concerned, everything is ok! You could take her the dentist if it would make you feel better, but I can tell you what they will say for free! Just start brushing what teeth she has with baby toothpaste (no flouride) and just wait and try to keep her comfortable. Oh, and lots of baby orajel, and baby tylenol and motrin. Sometimes they get sick when there teething, they might run a fever, have a runny nose and diahrea. So for the fever, give her tylenol first and then if it comes back before it's time for another dose of tylenol, then give her motrin. You can alternate between the two. It totally worked for my girls. Oh, and with the diarhea, she will probably get the kind that irritates her bottom no matter how many times you change her, or how quickly you change her, so expect diaper rash and get some creamy desitin. The creamy kind is easier to spread, and it's uncomfortable to have that rash touched, so don't get the regular desitin cause you'll have to warm it in your hand before you put it on, cause it's pretty firm stuff. If it's not creamy then you'll have to press on her bottom to get it to go on and it hurts, so make sure it's the creamy kind. Another thing for fever, is a lukewarm bath. This really helps bring fever down and will make her feel better. If she doesn't need a bath then just let her play in the water, and squeeze water on her head. If you have any more questions you can email me at ____@____.com I'd be gald to help in any way I can! Lots of luck! :)

My daughter only had 1 tooth when she turned 1 yr old. So don't be worried. She is almost 4 now and has all of them.
