It's generally normal for an 8-month-old to not have cut teeth yet. The timing of tooth eruption varies greatly from baby to baby; while some babies get their first tooth at 4-6 months, others may not until 12-15 months. This is related to genetic predisposition—if you or your partner cut teeth late, your baby likely follows a similar timeline.
It's not a sign of an underlying problem. If your baby's overall development—weight gain, movements, alertness—is normal, whether or not teeth have erupted is not a cause for concern by itself. If no first tooth appears by 18 months, your pediatrician can do an evaluation. For now, waiting and letting nature take its course is best.
