Probalbly not: By this age, your child should have about 8 teeth. Although there are vaiations in normal growth patterns, your child is really behind. You should see a pediatric dentist. A simple x ray would show if he is just behind or if he is missing one or more teeth. This is important since your son should be starting on solid foods already.
