My son is a toothless nine month old. He has shown signs of teething (irritability, excessive drooling) but still no teeth. Both me and my hubby were late teethers.

My son got his first two teeth at 8 mo, but he'd been teething since 2.5 mo! The Dr told me teeth can move up and down in the gums for some time before they finally break through, and this can be very painful for the baby. He is 16 mo now and has his 8 front teeth but no molars yet.
I actually know a lady who's baby was born with his two bottom teeth (I saw the teeth when the baby was only a week old!). They say 6 mo is average, but obviously averages hide extremes. ;-)

Teething usually starts at six months as the average however there are different factors which other children remain toothless later than this. My children have different ages in having their first tooth- 7 months,8 months and 6 months.
Your son will have his teeth grown in due time so just wait a little bit,nothing to rush.

My son got his first tooth 4 days before he turned 8 months old. He is 12 1/2 months old now and only has 6 teeth. He's working on 2 more...

My first son got his first tooth at 4 mo! He teethed on his cousin's head and everything within reach for a a young baby. His cousin was just 6 days younger and didn't get teeth until he was 1 yr. Those 2 onery boys were like twins but opposite in every way.What one didn't think of the other one did!My sister's kids all got their teeth late and all of mine were early. Go figure!

My son teethed for many months but the first 2 teeth didn't peak out until 10 months.

All three of my boys were late teethers as well. My eldest didn't get his first tooth until he was 14 months old. My youngest is following suit! My middle son got his first tooth around 11 months.

My son got his first tooth when he was 6 months but he was teething for like a month before it came in.
If you guys were late teethers, your son will probably be one too. If your concerned about his developement, talk to his doctor.

My daughter got her 2 bottom teeth at 7 months. She's 14 months and has 10 teeth not. Teething usually follows heriditary patterns, so she'll be like you and your husband.
