Pediatric Dentist!: Dental professional guideline (in USA) is that the first dental visit should occur within 6 months after the baby's first tooth appears, but no later than the child's first birthday. So your baby at 19 months old with teeth (congratulations!) should be checked by either a general or pediatric dentist. Have the doctor check for your baby's teeth, skeletal growth, tongue-tie, nutrition, etc.

Not normal: Your child may have a developmental defect of the enamel of the teeth or the underlying dentin layer. Tooth enamel is not layered, and should not peel like an onion. Sometimes this is indicative of other developmental disorders. At 19 months your child is at least a half year beyond when she should have had her 1st dental exam. Please immediately see a specialist children's dentist, a Pedodontist
