See a dentist: At 19 mos, usually does not have last 4 second year molars. Translucent teeth can indicate a problem with the development of noral teeth enamel. You should see a pediatric dentist. Sometimes medications and/or diet can also affect the enamel and color and strength of the teeth.

Primary teeth are: Anatomically & physiologically different from permanent teeth. The enamel is thinner, less mineralized & more translucent. The teeth are paler & very susceptible to cavities when babies & toddlers are allowed to fall asleep with a bottle or to drink milk & other sugary liquids off & on during the day from bottles or sippy cups. If he didn't see a pediatric dentist at a year, now's the time.
