Acceptable

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

At times eruption of teeth may be delayed upto 15 months of age and it is not a cause for concern. You may still get him reviewed by a dentist to check whether the growth of teeth under the gums seem proper.

In the meantime give the child rusk or other materials to bite on. Eventually eruption of teeth will occur and you need not worry about the same.
