Q – My baby is 10 months old and doesn’t have teeth yet – should I be worried?

A – This is not a cause for concern.  Although the average age for first tooth eruption is 6 months, some children begin teething earlier, around 3 or 4 months, and some later, not until 14 or 15 months.    Usually the lower middle teeth  (two central incisors) are the first to erupt with the upper central incisors next.
