My son is twelve months old and has no baby teeth yet- should I worry?

He's been excessively drooling since 5 months old and at his 9 month appointment, his doctor told me she could feel them and that they should be in in a few weeks, I can feel them in the gums and he's been chewing on everything he can get his hands on. Is there anything I can use to get his teeth to come through faster? I'm worried I'll have to take him to the dentist to have them cut them out... Any suggestions?

NO U SHOULDN'T WORRY. WHEN THEY COME IN THEY WILL
Reply:probably not yet. My twins didn't get thier first teeth until 13-14 months. My sister is a dentist and she even xrayed them to make sure teeth were in there! Of course they were. Once they start coming they won't stop. I think he'll be fine. Talk to his Dr or call your dentist just to make sure. But I would n't worry.
Reply:I WOULD MAKE AN APPT. WITH A DENTIST TO HAVE EX-RAYS DONE TO MAKE SURE HE EVEN HAS TEETH!!! MY STEP- DAUGHTER HAD THE SAME ISSUES!!! IT TOOK HER FOREVER TO GET ANY TEETH AT ALL!!! WAS HE A PREEMIE? SOME MEDS CAN SLOW THEM SOME IN COMING IN!!!
Reply:NO- our son didn't get any teeth until he was 16 months old.


Teeth that come in later are healthier and the teething is easier-at least for our son it was.
Reply:he might not have teeth buds! take him to the dentist. They make baby dentures


Usually babys should get there 2 bottom teeth in around 6 months
Reply:dont worry give him 6 more months and then worry my daughter started the teething stuff at 3 months but her tooth finally broke through at 7 months
Reply:No and I read once the later they come in the better. Better dental health they will have later in life. You just gave him great teeth. They will come in when ready:)
