It is not too early to take him to the dentist. Get a professional opinion and a check up.
Reply:every kid is different my son didnt lose his last baby tooth until he was 13 and then only cause the dentist pulled it..i wouldnt worry about it..next time you are the drs office have them check it out
Reply:I might have that looked at. I think it probably depends but that sounds like along time.
Reply:my son will be a year on the 19th of this month and his very first tooth is just now coming in. my first son had a tooth when he was like 5 months old. i wouldnt worry because every child is different in every way. they dont get teeth at a certain age. they dont crawl at the same age and so forth. just give him time he will get his teeth
Reply:Canines typically erupt between 16 and 23 months. Your son is well within that range, and even if he fell several months from that range, it would still be considered normal and healthy (though perhaps not %26quot;typical%26quot;). I%26#039;ve noticed that the canines and molars seem to take forever to erupt!





I put a chart below for your reference.
