A member asked:
17 mo old only 4 teeth. is this normal?

Yes: Although most children have more teeth at that age, having only 4 is not unusual and is normal. There is a strong possibility that your child will lose their teeth later than their friends, but this is also not a problem.

Yes: 4 teeth is average for a 1 year old but as long as your 17 mo old has teeth she is normal.
