No, don't worry about it. My son, who is 10 now, was the same way. Up until this year, he had only lost like 4 teeth, the two top and 2 bottom, but this year, he has lost several. Was she late in cutting her teeth? My son was almost 11 months old when he got his first tooth. I always heard the longer it takes for the teeth to come in, the longer they keep them. Don't worry, all kids are different, they will come out when the permanent ones are ready to come in.

By that age, you should have already taken her to the dentist. Even baby teeth need to be cleaned. Many children get cavities in their baby teeth and it goes into their permanent teeth. During the cleaning, they would x-ray her teeth and it would answer alot of your questions.
My daughter is 9 and still loosing teeth. However, due to x-rays, we know that on the bottom front, she has no adult teeth to come in. It's important to know this since those teeth are more fragile and will never be replaced. She's not allowed to bite or chew hard things.
All children get teeth in their own time, but your daughter really needs to see a dentist. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Worry about what? Teeth come out when they are suppose to. I had baby teeth for so long and I just looked at it like a good thing. The later you get your permanent teeth, maybe the longer you might have them.

I wouldn't children develop at different paces. My son got his first tooth at 2 months! my daughter however was 9 months. I think it also may have something to do with how long it took to get their first tooth. Either way It's definitely not a case for concern in my opinion. Either way I'm no dentist , if you are sincerely concerned talk to a dentist. and as I say in all of my replies, You're the mom follow your initial instinct it'll never let you down

I would go to the dentist and get an xray. My son is missing two of his aldult teeth, so he will never loose those baby teeth. Maybe your daughter is missing some of hers. They can tell from an xray. But if not, think of yourself, (or her) as lucky. The longer they take to come in the longer they should take to fall out in years to come!

I wouldn't worry about it, every kid is different, my 6yr old son hasn't lost any baby teeth yet as for my 7yr old daughter she's lost most of her front teeth already.

MY SON IS 9. HE HAS 5 BABY TEETH LEFT. I TAKE HIM TO THE DENTIST EVERY SIX MONTHS. BY THE AGE OF NINE EVERY CHILD SHOULD BE SEEN BY AN ORTHODONTIST. I WOULD GET AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY. IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE SOMETHING BUT SHE NEEDS DENTAL X-RAYS TO FIND OUT. GOOD LUCK.
