Where's the teeth?

My son will be 11 months in 2 weeks adjusted age 9 months but still no pearly whites.  When did your preemies get their first tooth?  When should we be worried?

Not for a while - just mention it to your pedi. "Normal" is a huge range, even for full term babies. Some don't get theirs until 1+. They'll have a droolfest for months prior to getting any so you'll know they're on the way!

My daughter's teeth came in a bit late too--and then they came in all at once! Five teeth in one week. If you're concerned about it at his first birthday, schedule a visit with a pediatric dentist and ask them (dentists now suggest kids start visiting that early anyway just to make sure everything is fine).
