Its perfectly normal. Babies can start teething at any age. My grandson was born with one tooth.

The vast majority of babies sprout their first teeth when they're between 4 and 7 months of age. An "early" developer may get his first white cap as early as 3 months which is not all that uncommon( i hve known a couple woman who's babies started teething early on), while a late bloomer may have to wait until he's a year old or more. (In rare cases, a baby's first tooth is already visible at birth.) Whenever the first tooth makes its appearance, celebrate the milestone by taking pictures and noting the date in your child's baby book.
Teeth actually start developing while your baby's in the womb, when tooth buds form in the gums. Teeth break through one at a time over a period of months, and often — but not always — in this order: First the bottom two middle teeth, then the top two middle ones, then the ones along the sides and back. They may not all come in straight, but don't worry — they usually straighten out over time.
The last teeth to appear (the second molars, found in the very back of the mouth on the top and bottom) have usually begun coming into place by your baby's second birthday. By age 3, your child should have a full set of 20 baby teeth, which shouldn't fall out until his permanent teeth are ready to start coming in, around age 6.
Hope i helped!

Because his body is ready to grow teeth. Theres no set time, some babies are born with them.
My son started teething at 3 months, although he didnt get a tooth through until 7 months.

That seems a bit early. But every baby is different. However, usually the bottom front two come first then the top front two. So, I would just check with a dentist when they come in.

Some babies are BORN with teeth! Completely normal! His gums were just probably thinner than your daughters were and its easier to break through because of that. :)
