My friend has an 11 month old with no teeth and she's wondering when her daughter will finally get her first pearly white. Here's what Dr. Sears has to say about it.

Are you waiting for teeth at your house? What are your thoughts?

I had late teethers too. Anabelle got her first tooth at 10 months, and Amelia was 11 months old before her first one popped through!

I am so glad to know that I am not the only parent who is worried about their LO not having any teeth yet. Maddie Klaire(3rd LO)is 10 months old and she still has no teeth I check every morning for any signs and to my dismay none! I have talked with her DR. about it and she said that babies that cut teeth late have less dental problems, hope that's true. Both of my boys cut their first tooth when they were 6 months old and so far so good no dental problems. Maybe before her first b'day she will have at least one tooth. LOL!

3Blessings - I've always been told the same thing too. The later those first teeth come in, the healthier their teeth are in general as they get older.
