Many kids do have there teeth take awhile to come in!.
2 months is a bit long though!.
I would go and get a X-ray to see where the permanent teeth are!. You can see if they are and if there is a problem causing them to move slower than usual!.
I was a dental asst for 18 years!. I hoped this helped a bit!.

It is a little unusual that the adult teeth haven't pushed through the gums yet, but they must be making their way down or the baby teeth would not have been pushed out!
If you are really worried, you could take him to the dentist and have an xray done if he thinks it is necessary to be sure the teeth are in the jaw and migrating down into place!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
