#asktheexpert My boy is 1 yr old, but his teeth not come yet.

A. It's not uncommon for some babies to get their first tooth later than others. While most babies get their first tooth around 6 months, some may not get their first tooth until after their first birthday. This variation is usually normal and can be influenced by genetics. If your baby is otherwise healthy and meeting developmental milestones, there's generally no cause for concern. However, if you're worried or if your baby shows signs of discomfort, it's always a good idea to consult your pediatrician or pediatric dentist to rule out any issues.
