Question About 17M/o Teeth

I'm a little concerned about my 17 month old and her lack of teeth. With her older sister, pretty much all of her teeth were in by now, and they came in proper sequence. With Lindsay, she's had the same four on the top and on the bottom (8 ttl) for about three months now, and all of the sudden, one of her back teeth is coming in on the top. There other teeth (at the very least, 1-3 on the top) I can think of that probably should have started coming in before this one. Should I be concerned?

What can I do next?

Hi R.,
This is nothing to be conerned about. My son didn't even get teeth until after a year old. At 18 months he still only had 6 teeth, 2 on the bottom and 4 on the top. Around 23 months he started to get his one year molars and now he is 24 months and his mouth is exploding with teeth. The bad news is your poor little girl is going to be in a lot of pain as she is going to get her teeth all at once, but the good news is the longer they take to come in the healthier they will be. Hope this helps.

R.,
My daughter is 19 months old, and up until a month ago, she only had her two top front, two bottom front, and 4 molers. The doctor said she was fine, they are coming in weird, but not to worry... in the last month she got 2 more teeth, and more are just about to surface...hang in there. they will come!

Hi,
My third son is almost 16 months old and has the four on the top and four on the bottom that he got when he was 5 months old. He is now starting to cut one on the top right and one on the bottom left! Each one of my boys were very different. Have you tried to ask a dentist? I hope everything works out well. Let us know.
