Hi Nanthini, How good that you keep track of and worry about your son's development. It is true that it is a bit unusual to only have 12 teeth at the age of 2 years. On the other hand, since your son only got his first tooth at 15 months, it is not very strange that he continues to be late in this particular area. Most often when the teeth erupt is a genetic thing rather than sign of any illness. Do you know if you our your husband were late with erupting teeth? And since he get so much calcium and is active, I doubt his diet is a problem. Nevertheless, I would suggest that you book an appointment with a pediatric dentist. They can examine his gums and do an x-ray to make sure all the teeth are there and will erupt over time. Warm wishes, Paula

actually my husband and i both got teeth soon.. allteeth developed by 1 year itself. and i take all care in his diet too. he eats rice, all vegetables, dhal, spinach etc. i think i must visit the dentist once, there is no special paediatric dentist available here so i must only see a general dentist. thanks for the suggestion.
