Preemies

No teeth

My LO is almost 13 months and still has no teeth. How long before I worry? When did your little ones get teeth?

Re: No teeth

  • Don't get me wrong I love the gummy smiles but I'm a bit worried she will never get teeth.

    DD just got her bottom 2 teeth 2 weeks ago at 9 months, 7 months adjusted. Your LO is gonna get teeth eventually! How does she do with solids?

  • She is 11 months adjusted. She's gums food pretty good.
  • My oldest twin didn't get his first tooth until 13m adjusted. He still only has 12 teeth while his younger brother has all 20. Kids get teeth at different ages. My pedi said she wouldn't get suspicious about anything unless he had no teeth at his 18m actual appointment.

  • My kid only had just gotten her first 2 teeth at a year old. I wouldn't worry about it yet. They will come!

  • My DD got her first tooth right before she turned 11 months (10 months adjusted). At 14 months she has 4 teeth.

    I wouldn't worry either. My pediatrician said that her son got his 1st tooth around his first birthday. She said that my DD will probably get a lot at once. Actually the longer they stay inside the gums the better for the health of the tooth.

  • My boss keeps telling me about her preemie niece that has partial dentures cause she didn't have tooth buds develop. I think that's why I'm worried. You know people and trying to relate to uou

    Relate to your situation and tell horror stories? I get that from people all the time. I dunno if their trying to make me feel better or what?

    I have no idea how common that is, but my pedi said that she has never seen a child not get their teeth. She's been a pedi for many years FWIW.
