Is It Normal for a Baby to Have Only Two Teeth at 11 Months?

Question

My son is 11 months old and has only two teeth. Is this normal? What should I do?

Answer

Teeth emerge at different times for different children, although there is generally a sequence of eruption. Not all children follow this sequence strictly. The order and timing of tooth eruption can vary, which is normal to some extent. Whether it’s the upper or lower teeth, the timing and sequence of eruption can differ.
