Hi Dr. Olson,

I have a question on teething. My dauther is 2yrs. 3 months old and she still doesn't have all her teeth in. She has 4 on top and 1 moler on each side that I can tell and then she has 4 at the bottom and 2 molers on either side. Is it normal for a non eater to be a slow teether? Or should I be concerned?

Thanks.
Ada

Hi,

Cutting teeth and eating status have no correlation, as far as I know. Our daughter cut her first tooth at 15 months and was proportionally slower with all the rest. This is normal for some kids.

Good luck, dr. olson
