Accepted Answer

for tooth development and eruption the first important thing is that the child should not have deficiency of calcium and vitamin d.
deficiency is there or not will be told by the doctor
there is no need to worry because many times the first tooth eruption may occur as late as 18 months also
so if your personal doctor is not worried then no need to worry from your side 
will emerge so wait

Hello mom 
Every baby development cycle is different and same applies on teething. Some babies teething starts after baby turns one year old. And it is good if teething starts late. You can start giving homeopathic medicine name denton it is very effective in teething
