18 months and she has all of her teeth

She just got her last 4 teeth in and man were they doozies (at once )

Is that the norm...seems kind of fast to me.

Re: 18 months and she has all of her teeth

Ava is 16 months and she only has a few more to go. I thought it was pretty fast too.

Re: 18 months and she has all of her teeth

All 20 baby teeth? By 18 months, my son had 16 - all but 4, which were his 2 year molars. He got his 2 year molars at 2-1/2 years old.

My DD will be the same, she already has 8 at 8 months.

It just varies so greatly, there really isn't a norm.

Re: 18 months and she has all of her teeth

Wow! We're at almost 16 months and only 4 teeth. I feel like we're abnormal.

Re: 18 months and she has all of her teeth

Good for you!!! I am envious!!! WE are almost 2 and just popped our 1 year old molars and besides them only have 6 teeth here and it has been teething hell for 1.5 years!!

Re: 18 months and she has all of her teeth

It can be normal - Alex is 16 months and has all her teeth except the last 4. I'm not looking forward to when those start coming through!

Re: 18 months and she has all of her teeth

It's definitely possible. I honestly can't tell with Christopher, because he won't let me look in his mouth long enough to count

yup! can def have them all by this age. usually we see 16 but can def have all 20 by this age. just make sure to keep them clean, especially the bottom teeth, those are the ones that we always see with lots of plaque on them by age 2. sometimes the plaque is hard called calculus where we have to use the cavitron or scale it off and sometimes for a 2 yr old they get scared. you can def use a baby toothbrush now, if you werent allready.

Oooh...can I hit you up for some free advice???

I brush her teeth every night after her bath (as much as she will let me which is usually just 15 seconds worth).

BUT...I still nurse her before bed (after I have already brushed her teeth). Is this terrible for her teeth??? I've heard that nursing isn't as bad as a bottle nut I'm not sure that is true.
TIA

Bella has 8, and the four "year molars" are STILL s-l-o-w-l-y coming in...since September

Hey, maybe that's a good thing for your DD?

Hi!! sure!! No its not terrible but you do have the same risk, the good thing however is that you are brushing her teeth before hand so there isnt as much bacteria in her mouth but ideally you should brush even if its just warm water to remove the milk/breastmilk off of her teeth. A warm cloth will do, you dont have to brush them if you have allready brushed them. the idea is to remove the film of milk left on the teeth before bedtime. We see a ton of decay on the front teeth from this. on the two front teeth, inbetween them. take the warm cloth and just wipe down her front teeth, top and bottom.


Thanks. We will be stopping the nursing soon but in the meantime I will see if she will let me wipe down her teeth with a cloth just before I put her in the crib. I worry because my family has AWEFUL teeth. I can't even count how many root canals I've had.

Wow! Michael is 2 and only has 12 teeth! Goes to show how every kid is different...

I'm confused though. He's got 6 on top and 6 on the bottom - we're waiting on the 4 two year molars right? So how does that make 20 baby teeth??? LOL, am I missing something?
