Should I be concerned?
DS is 14 months old and only has six teeth. He has had any teeth come through since September last year.

My DD is 14 months too and has only 6 teeth. Her little friend only has 4 and is 6 weeks older another is 2 months younger and has nearly all her teeth.. It just depends on the kid. Im not worried they will come when they are ready.

My 15th month old has only just got her 7th and 8th teeth last week. Didn't faze me at all. Her sister didn't get her 1st tooth until after she was one

My 14month old has 7 teeth i'm not worried its around average for my mothers group. She has a new one coming through now last one was around September last year as well. Some have molars some have less they are all different.

Teeth aren't a milestone or a developmental mark, so really I'd not worry. I also wouldn't know what you could DO anyway.

Hi Covert
H has 6 teeth too and he's the same age. But he didnt get his first until 10.5 months.

Both DD's (now 3.5 and 22 months) got their first teeth between 10-12 months.

DD2 (22 months) now has her front 8 teeth and all 4 molars coming through. (so 12). But 2 months ago at 20 months, she only had the front 4 upper and lower teeth.

I think it's a good thing, because although they can't chew/eat as easily - their teeth have less time to rot in their mouths/develop holes etc. DD2 is a NIGHTMARE trying to get teeth cleaned. Despite starting at 6 months (no teeth) to practice, it is a fight EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT to clean her teeth.

At that age my DD only had 2 teeth. Then they are came through at once. Total nightmare.

No I wouldn't worry. They are teeth differently.

At that age DD had no teeth her first molars came in first (all at once) at around 16 months. Now at two and a half she still needs her top second molars and canines to come through but I'm not worried - my sister and I were exactly the same.
