No. Babies develop at their own pace. I've heard of plenty of babies that didn't get teeth until they were 1.

Stop worrying. All 4 of my kids didn't get their first tooth until after their first birthday. As per the doctor, it is a hereditary thing, and the only thing it means is that they will also be late to start losing their baby teeth. No health issues here, and nothing to worry about. The only thing you do have to watch is food consistency since there are no teeth to bite with.

No you shouldn't be concerned. Babies develop and do things at different ages. She will get her teeth in her own time. As long as she is healthy and eating then you should be worried. Some babies get two teeth here then months later get more and so on. She might get hers in spurts. Who knows. My son had two teeth at six months old and didn't get any more until he was one. Nothing to worry about though.

No. My daughter got her first tooth at almost 11 months old. She was just a slow toother... There is nothing wrong with it. She is now almost 17 months old and now has 11 teeth (still less then the other kids in her Gymboree class). They will come...

My nephew didn't get teeth until he was 11 1/2 months old. The doctor told my sister that it wasn't anything to worry about until they get MUCH older.
Hope I could help!

Not at all. My daughter's first teeth showed through at 14 months, and she's perfectly happy and healthy. I was a little concerned myself...but I asked her doctor and it's completely normal.

No not at all, you should actually be glad. The later their teeth come in, the better. They will stay in better health. The earlier teeth come in the higher chance of them rotting, falling out sooner, or becoming infected/gingivitis. Caused from the bottle.

Don't worry, the time of first teeth in infants varies.
