No: In the absence of other signs or symptoms, you should not be concerned. The first teeth erupt on average around 6 months, so 8 months is still within the normal range. Patience would be advised at this stage. Some dentists may suggest an x-ray to evaluate, but even that would likely be unnecessary at this stage.

Baby teeth: It is normal for your daughter to not have any baby teeth. Some start teething as early a 4-6 months. However, there a no set rules. Every child is on her own schedule. A pediatric dentist may exam her to assure you.

No: No need to worry now. Some children's teeth erupt later than this. If there are no teeth at 12 months then you may want to schedule an evaluation with a pediatric dentist. Each kids is different. Remember to clean her teeth as soon as they start to erupt.
