A. There is no specific specification that both the teeth would be coming together one would come first one would come later next time when the gums are ready and sometimes two teeth or three teeth teeth can also start erupting at the same time at different places which is normal so currently with what you mention is completely normal

A. It's completely normal for baby teeth to come in different patterns and at different times. Typically, the lower central incisors (the front two teeth) tend to come in as a pair, but sometimes they may erupt separately. In your baby's case, one lower central incisor (tooth 31) has erupted, but the other one (tooth 41) hasn't come through yet. Why This Happens: Individual variation: Tooth eruption patterns can vary widely between babies. It's not uncommon for one tooth to erupt slightly earlier than the other, and the second one might just be taking a little longer to push through. Natural delay: There might be a slight delay in the eruption of the other tooth due to differences in gum thickness, the tooth's position, or other minor developmental factors. What to Expect: Usually, the second lower central incisor (tooth 41) will follow soon after the first. It's common for teeth to come within weeks of each other, though in some cases, there may be a delay of a couple of months. As long as your baby seems comfortable, is not in significant pain, and is otherwise healthy, this delay is typically not a cause for concern. When to Consult a Pediatric Dentist: If there's a long delay (several months) with no signs of the other tooth erupting. If you notice any swelling, infection, or discomfort in the gum area. If you have any other concerns regarding your baby's dental development. In most cases, the second tooth will emerge shortly, and your baby's teeth will develop normally over time. Keep an eye on it, and make sure your baby is comfortable while teething by offering teething toys or cool, soft foods to soothe the gums.
