Don't worry. My daughter didn't get her first tooth until she was 19 months. Everything was and is fine. Some kids just take longer to get them.

They come when they come. My daughter had 2 teeth when other kids her age had a whole mouthful! Then all of a sudden 4 came in at once. A few months later 4 more came in. She seems to go months and months and then all of a sudden they come. If your doctor isn't worried, don't be worried. Kids get their teeth, grow, and learn all at different rates so don't compare your child to others or to charts, it'll make you CRAZY!! Just take it as it comes, relax and enjoy your child:)

each baby is different.. was she a preemie? this may cause her the tooth delay.. if you are really concerned then a dentist may be able to answer some of your concerns.

You can't make her teeth come in any faster then they want too. Some of my baby's teeth came in without me even noticing, on the other hand, one of her's took 2 months to cut completely. Just be patient, they will come in. =)

I've heard that the later their teeth come in the stronger they are. It may be an old wives tale, I don't know. I would start getting him/her use to cleaning his little gums so it won't be such a battle when they do come in.

I don't have an answer-- my baby is 14 months and still has no teeth! My pediatrician said it isn't anything to worry about. When teeth comes in is mostly genetic (I was also very late getting my teeth) and it just means she'll probably be later than her friends to lose her baby teeth.
