Baby teeth coming in late?

Maiyko AI ADVISOR

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The timing of tooth eruption varies greatly from baby to baby. On average, the first tooth appears between 6-12 months, but completely healthy babies can have their first tooth at 3-4 months or not until 12-15 months. Tooth eruption is a genetic process — if one of the parents had late tooth eruption, the baby is likely to have the same pattern. General pediatric guidance suggests consulting a pediatrician if no teeth have appeared by 18 months. This is usually just a simple delay rather than an underlying problem. Late tooth eruption by itself is not a sign of a developmental disorder; what matters is that the baby is progressing normally in overall growth and development.
