Hard to say: If the permanent teeth are present and poised for eruption based on xray evaluation, it isn't particularly worrisome. If you mean she has multiple absent permanent teeth radiographically, that is not normal. Get a thorough dental exam including radiographs to get your answer..

Not abnormal: Some children will get their teeth earlier while others later. When the teeth come in later than average, it is called delayed tooth eruption. If concerned, see a pedodontist, dentist for kids. Take care.
