#asktheexpert My Baby is 10 months old and he has only one tooth in lower jaw.So wanted to know when he will have other tooth as well, Is the sign of worry or it is Normal in babies

A. The timing of teething can vary widely among babies, and it's not uncommon for a 10-month-old to have only one tooth. Teething is a gradual process, and the order and timing of tooth eruption can vary. If your baby is otherwise healthy, meeting developmental milestones, and there are no other concerning signs or symptoms, having only one tooth at 10 months might not be a cause for worry. Teeth usually continue to emerge over the following months. Here are some general teething tips: 1. **Provide Teething Toys:** Safe teething toys can help soothe sore gums. Ensure they are clean and suitable for your baby's age. 2. **Gentle Gum Massage:** Using a clean finger, gently massage your baby's gums to provide relief. 3. **Chilled Teething Rings:** Chilled, not frozen, teething rings can offer comfort to sore gums. 4. **Soft, Cold Foods:** If your baby has started on solids, you can offer soft, cold foods like pureed fruits or yogurt. If you have concerns about your baby's teething or if there are other developmental issues, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your pediatrician. They can provide guidance based on your baby's specific situation and offer reassurance or further evaluation if needed.
