First tooth?

Just wondering at what age did your kiddos get their first tooth?
Shane's gonna be 10 months soon and still no sign yet!

Kaden got his first tooth when he was about 6 months old. I've heard that the longer it takes them to get their teeth, the healthier they are, but Im not sure if thats true or not. So dont quote me on it LoL.

Yeah, I have heard that also... but I'm unsure of how much truth lies behind it... or the reasoning. Less time for food to start rotting them maybe?

Someone said it was because they have more time to gain more enamel on the teeth i think. Like i said, I dont know for sure if it is true. But it makes sense to me.

Cae was three to four months, which I felt was so early. He would bite me all the time.

Aidan was 12 1/2 months! And then he started getting one right after another. He has 6 teeth and more are coming! Ian was 11 months. Both my boys got teeth late. Don't worry mama it kinda sucks because everyone elses baby has teeth but yours doesn't but he'll get his teeth soon enough

I was going to ask this same question. My son is 7 1/2 months and he has no teeth either.

Gabriel had one natal tooth (weird looking little thing on a string) which got pulled, and then the one next to it came in when he was 8 weeks old. He was about 7 months before he got anymore. I can see where Corbin's gums are getting ready, but no eruptions yet!

Well, the past week he had been fussy for no apparent reason when I looked into his mouth and saw a little white spot. A few days later, sure enough, it came through! It's not up all the way but it's defiantly broken through... Damn baby teeth are sharper than I thought! It's so bittersweet. My little babe is turning into big boy babe!

Aw yay! Congrats! I know what you mean by them being sharp! when Kaden got his first tooth he was still trying to get another tooth through so I let him chew on my finger thinking, "how sharp can a little baby tooth really be?" Yea they hurt! LoL.

Teagan's first tooth erupted last night. I didn't think she was actually teething, because she didn't act any different than normal. So eight months.

riley was 11 months.. ive also heard that tale about the later the better, but ive also heard the same thing about the latter they fall out the better the new ones will be...i tried to google it, but nothing really came up that i could decipher as a medical fact
