I def. think it is normal. My oldest daughter , who is now 5, had teeth when she was 4 mos old but my youngest daughter, who is now three, did not get her firsttooth until she was nearly one! I was panicked the whole time adn actually thought she had a tooth prob. I tok ker to the dr. ( i know extreme but i didnt know any better) and they said she was fine. A couple of weeks went by and teeth came in bythe truckload!! He will be absolutely fine!!!

Yes it is. My son had all his teeth after 14 months and quite fast. A doctor told me the teeth end up being stronger if they are not so early. More roots growing, etc...

My friend's daughter just turned 1 and she still doesn't have any teeth. Her gums aren't even raw or anything. For some kids it just takes longer.

I would say it's normal. Most kids get their first teeth anywhere between 6-12 months. My neice didn't have any teeth until she was 12 months old then she got her first two. Don't worry. They'll be in soon enough. Good luck.

hey.  I wouldn't worry too much about it.  My 7 month old son has been teething since he was a month old and still nothing yet.  My sibblings and I, all three of us didn't have teeth til we were 18 months and then they all shot up in no time and we have great teeth is I may say so lol.  I wouldn't worry too much tho.  When he's a year old take him to his first dentists appointment even if he has no teeth and see what the dentist recommends then....
