  • My Youngest Daughter is 15 Months Old and She Only Has 6 Teeth.

My Youngest Daughter is 15 Months Old and She Only Has 6 Teeth.

“I am wondering my youngest daughter is 15 months old and she only has 6 teeth 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. I am unable to find out if this is on track for her development.”

First off, I worry if a child hits 12-15 months and doesn’t have ANY teeth yet. So, she is well within normal limits. The times that teeth erupt can vary considerably. Here is a chart from one of my development textbooks showing the average times that various teeth erupt. Keep in mind that what is considered normal will be about 4 months before or after the average:
