POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It is generally normal for babies to experience a delay in getting their first tooth, though most babies start teething around 6 to 10 months of age. However, some babies don't get their first tooth until after their first birthday, and this can still fall within the range of normal development.
Here are some points to consider:
Genetics: Delayed teething can run in families. If either parent had a late teething experience, the baby might follow a similar pattern.
Developmental Milestones: As long as your baby is meeting other developmental milestones, the absence of teeth at 12 months is not usually a cause for concern.
Consultation: If your baby hasn't had any signs of teething by 18 months, it may be worth discussing with a pediatrician or dentist to rule out any underlying issues.
In most cases, delayed teething doesn't indicate a health problem, but it’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor for reassurance and to monitor overall health and development.
