tooth question re:1st molar

normally...doesnt a child get in all of the front teeth before molars? DD is 15 mths and didnt cut her first tooth till 12 mths...she now has all four front teeth (2 top and 2 bottom)....and I just realized when she was laughing and had her mouth open real wide that a molar is cut through!! Did anyone else's DC cut the molar before a bunch of the front teeth?

Re: tooth question re:1st molar

There is a "general"pattern teeth erupt but MANY babies do not follow it My DD got her centrals then laterals molars and now canines. I've seen canines erupt first, molars last. It really doesn't matter as long as they come in

DS also was a late teether- his first teeth came in at 14 months. He got all 4 top ones and 2 bottom ones at the same time, and then right after got his first molars.
