15 months, 12 months and 9 months. All babies are different. Seems the older they are when they come in the less it bothers them.

be glad your son doesn't have teeth yet: they haven't been exposed to the sugars in his milk all this time!...good thing as far as dental issues go!...to answer your question, though, both my sons didn't get their first teeth in until they were almost nine months...

not till 1 year for one of them. be thankful. the later they cut the better shape the teeth will be in, less exposure to milk.

One of my twin daughters was born with teeth, but her brother and sister were closer to 10/11 mths. The one born with teeth was told there was nothing holding them in and they should fall out by the time she was 6 mths old...they were smaller than the rest growing and eventually fell out at 5 1/2 yrs old! She has really crooked teeth and are currently waiting for all her baby teeth to come through so we can discuss braces...oh the joy!

Teeth are not a worry, they all come in at different times for different children. The slower

they come in the stronger the teeth. Teething is not fun, so be blessed that you haven't had to deal with it yet.

My cousins son was a year old before he started cutting teeth. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

It's usually genetic-usually just over 12 months in my own family. Dentists say this is great since a later eruption of teeth ensures formula, etc. isn't left on them, so less chance of decay!

Hopefully your son won't get teeth until he can understand "No biting!"

My baby (now almost 12 yrs) didn't get teeth until he was 13-14 months old. I was so worried I had the doctor take x-rays to make sure the teeth were really under the gums.

Every child is different. My pediatrician and dentist both told me that the later the child is getting their teeth the better the teeth are. My middle daughter was my latest to get her teeth and yet hers are the best of all three.

My daughter cut her 1 year molars before she had any front teeth lol...she was still all gums at her first birthday!

my son started teething hard when he was less than 3 months old but didn't get a tooth until he was almost 8 months, my oldest daughter was 5 months and my youngest daughter was right at 11 months old. All 3 of my kids have very healthy teeth now. I think toothless babies are so cute! They will start popping in so fast you won't be able to keep up with it!

Jeanette - posted on 03/22/2010

my first son was 5 months old and 5 years old when he lost two. my second son was 7 months old when he got his first

Paije - posted on 03/22/2010

My son was four months old when he got his first two teeth at the same time. There's really no specific time for them to come in. They will show up when his body is ready. No worries!

Evette - posted on 03/22/2010

my son was a year old when he got his first tooth, he is now 14 and never had a cavity. I always heard that the longer it takes for the teeth to come in the better their teeth are.

so I wouldnt worry about him not having any teeth yet.

Before I was a mom I worked as an assistant in a pediatric dentist office. It was a learning experience that I really enjoyed. All children have different "dental ages". There is no wrong time period for teeth coming in. If the primary teeth come in early then they will get their adult teeth earlier than some around them. The same goes with them coming in "late". They will loose their primary teeth later than some others around them. It really has nothing to do with them being stronger...it's just that everyone is different.

My kids were late teethers and got their first tooth at 8 months.

My olderst son had his first tooth at 14mths. He is 7 and a half now, and still has his baby teeth. we had to go to the dentist and pull out two bottom teeth, as his 2 adult ones came through, but the baby ones wont budge. I have always been told that the later they come the better. the only issue he has is chewing his food. :)

Karen - posted on 03/22/2010

My kids both had at least two teeth by age 6 mths. In fact they lost all of their baby teeth early and were done wearing braces early. Some kids are just like that. It's nothing to be concerned about!

My son's teeth came out when he was 8mths old n my daughter's teeth came like 11mths old..i was kinda worried 2 but i asked 1 paediatric Dr n he assured me that they'll come out so don't worry so don't u worry ya 7mth old son will b ok!!..

My son did not get his first tooth until he was one year -- he now has a full set of teeth and everything is just fine! Don't worry, they will comje in time!!!

Angela - posted on 03/22/2010

My daughter was 10 months old when she got her first tooth, after that they came thick and fast. My son is 10 months old now and already has 7 teeth! You never can tell when they'll come but believe me they will. As long as as your son is happy and eating well I wouldn't worry about it

My daughter was exactly 7 months old when her first peg peeped thru those gums...LOL!

Casey - posted on 03/22/2010

my son got his 1st tooth at 6 n half months n my nephew had 2 teeth by the time he got his 1st and my cousins havent got there 1st tooth yet and are bout 10months so its dif for every baby, i guess..

Gerri - posted on 03/22/2010

Two of my kids were almost a year old when they got their first tooth. Then they came in like popcorn. They are both in their twenties now and have had no major dental problems.

Risa - posted on 03/22/2010

My son was 10 months old before he cut his first tooth. He is now 22 months and only has 12 teeth! That is suppose to be a good thing, so i've heard.

Dont worry, my son whose now 3, with a full set of teeth, didnt get his first till he was 14 monthsold! It was frustrating because he should of been eating what we were eating, but i still had to blend it all as he couldnt chew it, lol! x

Richeda - posted on 03/22/2010

My son recieved his first two teeth at 5 months. My daughter's teeth came in at 10 months. However, her teeth came in fours. Don't fret all babies are different:-)

Danielle - posted on 03/22/2010

my son was 13 months when he got his first tooth, and he got his molars first. my mom-in-law said that her dentist said if they com in scattered like that, that it is a sign of intelligence, but their teeth will come in when they are ready, and its always a good idea to start them brushing their teeth even before the have them to get usd to it.

Kara - posted on 03/22/2010

My son was 4.5 months and got his bottom two at the same time. He is now 6 months and has 4 teeth. But I know that some babies just develop differently. It's no big deal and teething is no fun.

Raisa - posted on 03/22/2010

my son is 11 months and still does not have teeths..the peadiatrician has advised to give calcium supplements..but i think nothing to worry abt it,som babies get it late..

Chelsea - posted on 03/22/2010

my little boy had two by the time he was 3 months but the doctor said its different for all and some dont even get any til one :D

Joy - posted on 03/22/2010

Hi Eeva, I know the feeling. My daughter's finally just sprouting 2 teeth at the same time and she's 10 months old. Her brothers started much earlier so I guess it's just when they're ready. Not to worry, he'll have them when he's good and ready!!!



Cheers

my second daughter is currently 9.5 months old and has just cut her 7th tooth...

Karen - posted on 03/22/2010

My first son was around 7 months when he got his first teeth. My second son is only 3 months so i have the teething stage to look forward to yet. He's munching on his fingers all the time though. I wouldn't worry too much, all babies develop at their own rate.

Anita - posted on 03/21/2010

my son didn't get his first tooth until he was 10mths and my daughter got her first at 8mths. I didn't get my first tooth until I was 15mths Dad tells me and I hear that quite often. Your son will get his teeth in his own time and they say the older they are before getting teeth the longer they'll keep their teeth coz they aren't exposed to food & drink :)



Good luck and before you know it he'll be chomping on steaks :)

Layla - posted on 03/21/2010

my first son was 4 months old when he started getting his first 2 bottom teeth, my second son is 5 months and just starting to get his. i wouldn't worry about it too much though he should start getting them soon. it just depends on when his teeth are ready or not. mine just got theirs earlier then most. just be patient and don't freak out, they will come in when they are ready.

Cassandra - posted on 03/21/2010

my daughter was 7 and a half months old... one night we went to sleep next day i could feel something in her mouth... i thought she was also a late bloomer cause she had none and her cousin of 5 months already had 2!!! i was worried but no nomore.. just give your son time he'll get his tooth when he's well and ready :)

Karin - posted on 03/21/2010

Just some input. My son did not get his first tooth until he was 10 months old. My daughter did not get her first tooth until she was 13 months old. Both of my children have beautiful teeth now. So don't worry, the teeth will come.

Savannah - posted on 03/21/2010

My first daughter started getting teeth at 6 months and my second got hers when she was 8 1/2 months so I think it just depends on the child they each reach their milestones at different times.

Devin - posted on 03/21/2010

my son is 5 1/2 months old has his first tooth and his second one anyday now....

Lori - posted on 03/21/2010

Hi Evea, I have six children and they all got their teeth at different times some started teething as early as four months and one didn't get even one tooth till he was 10 months old. As long as your baby is growing and being loved you really need not stress! Enjoy your beautiful baby - they grow so quickly. He will have teeth when he needs them.... All my best wishes to you and your family!
