The symptoms of teething vary from child to child. The link below shows symptoms that a teething baby may experience.

My son was almost 8 months when he got his first tooth, but my nephew is 8 months old now and still has no teeth. Every baby is different. If he still hasn't gotten a tooth by his 1 year check up, ask the pediatrician about it, until then, try not to worry.

My baby actually had milk teeth when she was born. Doctor told me that it is not all that common to have, but not abnormal either. They did eventually fall out.They said that the teeth were soft and we would not be able to tell when they feel out. Just last night we found 2 bottom teeth coming through. My daughter is 6 months. She has been teething for a good while. I've always heard that the later that babies get teeth, the better there teeth will be when they get older. Your baby will get them when its time. My niece didn't get her teeth until she was 13 months old. But when they came they popped out like popcorn. Good luck 2 ya!!

Every baby is different... just like all other developments occur at different times, this one too. My child got her first (2) bottom teeth when she was 7 months old, however her cousin is two weeks older than her and now at 10 months still have no teeth. They are both fine according to their pediatricians. Talk to yours in the next appointment, but it is very early to worry about teeth being "late"

My daughter was 8 months. It really depends on heredity. Some babies develop them as early as 2 months and some don't cut their first tooth until they are 12 months. They can still move on to chunkier foods because the gums are used for chewing until the baby is in the middle of their 2nd year! Good luck... enjoy the smiles with no teeth! :)

Don't worry, i had the same worries w/my daughter. She was one and half before she got her first tooth. I was afraid she would never get teeth. She's now five, her last tooth came in when she was three and half. I took her to the doc. and she said nothing to worry about it just means that they have strong and healthy teeth coming in. There right my daughters teeth are so pretty. now i just wonder how long will it take for her baby teeth to fall out. lol

Yaaay no teeth! Actually many children still have no teeth at one year.
Every month that your baby doesn't have teeth is another month that you don't have to worry about those teeth becoming decayed.
Seriously what would you rather deal with? No teeth at 1 year or cavities at one year? Because I had to deal with cavities at one year, then finding a dentist that could help, then dealing with general anesthetic, and then because the whole process took so long one tooth couldn't be saved so then he had to be fitted with a denture (under anesthetic again).

Don't compare your babie with others'. All development at a different rate and from what I heard all my life is if the baby's teeth take longer to come in, they'll be stronger so don't worry!! I had 2 boys and one had teeth early (and his teeth ended up being pretty bad as a n adult) and my other got his later (and seemed to have less problems). Don't worry mom.

My little guy started teething at 2 months & got his first tooth around 4/5 months but I would not worry. I have friends that their babies were really late teethers. Its not a milestone. They will come when their ready.

Oh my goodness. My daughter was one week shy of 8 months old when she started to walk. We found her climbing a 6 foot tall hurricane fence at 10 months. She was reading by age four, and knew her address and phone number the time she started kindergarten. Her first tooth? Fourteen months. Her first word? Fifteen months.
And if you go to a first grade classroom, you'll notice that all the kids are pretty much equal in everything. Don't compare your baby with other babies. They all catch up to one another, regardless of who gets what when.
My daughter took this advice with her two little ones, and she thanked me for it.
