“Why doesn't my one year old have teeth?”
My daughter just turned a year old and she only has two teeth in. Is this normal? Do you think I should take her to the dentist or wait?

Hello,
You can take her to the dentist for a general check up, but different kids develop teeth differently. It can take up to 18 months of age.

Yes, this is normal. Averages are based On standard deviation and there is lots of variability on when teeth can come in. I would not worry. The advantage of getting teeth later is a little bit less chance for cavities. Thanks, Dr. PRICE
If she has hair and fingernails, she should get her teeth in. They are made at the same stage of gestation. 2 teeth at 1 is normal. She will be getting several at one time.
