Is it normal for a 11-month-old baby to only grow two teeth?

Patient's question:

11-month-old babies only grow two teeth

Doctor's answer:

The timing of teething varies among infants. Some start teething as early as 4 months, but most begin around 6 months. Teeth usually come in pairs. By the age of 3, all 20 baby teeth should have erupted. The timing of the first tooth appearing varies, and it is considered normal if it occurs between 4 to 12 months.
If a baby has not teched by the age of 1, there is no need to worry too much as long as other developmental milestones are being met. Observe the baby for any other unusual signs, such as night waking, excessive sweating, bald spots on the head, or growth and development issues. It is recommended to have their blood calcium levels checked at the hospital.
