Question: My baby is one year old and has no tooth yet Shortly before he was one I visited a doctor to complain  he simply discarded my worry and said I shouldnt bother but Im worried
Answer: Hello maam
I understand your fears and worries 
Its only normal you have them 
However there has been some instances where we have children whose teeth dont come out early

Also the teeth may not be fully out through the gum pads yet but Im  sure therell be signs that the teeth are present and on their way out A dentist knows this
Thats probably why the last dentist you saw said you shouldnt worry
However if you still dont feel comfortable with that please feel free to  get a second opinion at another clinic
See another dentist
It all boils down to having a thorough  examination carried out on your baby

Your babys teeth should erupt fully into his or her mouth in a couple of weeks though if theres  nothing stopping them from coming out

Kind regards
