Question:
Should I be concerened that my 19 month old has only five teeth, should he go to the dentist soon about this.?
Answers:
You can take a look at this tooth eruption chart to see when the teeth should be erupting. However, I can tell you that these ages vary quite a bit and some children get their teeth later (and ofcourse others sooner) It looks like your baby is pretty much on target. However, it is always a good idea to have a dental professional check if something seems really abnormal or the child has a trauma to the mouth which is common when they start walking. http://www.ada.org/public/topics/tooth_e...
