A member asked:

My 9 month old, had both lateral incisisors, but no front teeth. he has the two bottom front teeth aswell. should i be concerned?

No: While we usually see the bottom two incisors erupt first, followed by the uppers, the pattern of eruption varies considerably in normal infants. Over time the others will emerge.

Seek evaluation: This is an unusual eruption pattern. When lateral incisors erupt before central incisors, either there is something interfering with dental incisor eruption or the tweet are congenitally missing. Sometimes centrals erupt into lateral incisor position. The into-facial developmental experts for infants and toddlers are Pedodontists, Pediatric Dental Specialists. Would strongly recommend examination.
