17 mnth old no teeth?!


Question:

17 mnth old no teeth?

My baby is 17 mnths old with not a single tooth yet, but today i found her left upper jaw is swollen with a little pointy feeling and the right upper jaw is swollen a bit as well, but nothing point there. she is also a cranky with a temp...i put bonjela on it and she was fine after....I thought first the lower front teeth come in? Is this normal?? I am really getting worried...thanx..


Answers:

Sometimes the baby molars actually come in before the front ones. This is common and what she is exeriencing is normal teething. Give her something to chew on and give her some childrens motrin. She is running a little bit behind but that is fine b/c the later things run the less cavities they usually have b/c they are more cooperative w/ brushing and flossing.
