A member asked:
18 month old only has 6 teeth. 4 top, 2 bottom. is it ok that her teeth are coming in so slow?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Probably OK: That's slow but not unheard of. A consultation with a pediatric dentist with x- rays will set your mind at ease.

2 important dates: 1st Dental examination age 1, preferably by a Pediatric Dental Specialist. 1st Orthodontic examination age 7, preferably by a fully qualified Orthodontic specialist. Pedodontists and Orthodontists are dento-facial growth and development specialists. Your child's eruption pattern and timing is atypical and should be evaluated.

Not uncommon: Eruption patterns vary widely from child to child, and there is nothing anyone can do to speed things up or slow them down, so for that reason alone it's OK. This is a great time to establish a relationship with a pediatric dentist to that your child can be examined. All the best...
