When did your preemie?

posted 19th Oct
When did your preemie get their first tooth? Lydia is 9 months old, corrected age 6 months, and was born at 24 week 6 days gestation.. She still has no teeth, and I shouldn't say it's "worrying" me, but it's a little concerning.. Should I point this out to her pediatrician next time we are in?

Thanks in advance!

Georgia was born a month early, and got her first tooth around 10 months! There's no "right" time for teeth, so no worries

Syd was born on her due date and didn't have one until 9 1/2 months. Then after that she didn't get any until the week of her 1st birthday! Now at 12 1/2 months she only has 4! I used to call her the toothless wonder cause she could eat anything with NO TEETH! Lol!

My son was also a 24 weeker. He got his first tooth at 11 months actual. He actually got his 2 top teeth at the same time. He is now 28 months and has all but his 2 yr molars. My sons top teeth (well 3 of them) did come in jagged and kinda green on the ends. His enamel didnt form completely on those teeth ( enamel hypoplasia). There was no decay but we had to have them filled because they were more prone to decay. I wouldnt worry about her not having any teeth yet but when they do start to come in I would pay close attention because some preemies can have issues with there teeth.

Everyone made me feel so much better, thank you all! I guess I just worry, probably just like you all did, we all love our children so much and only want them to be healthy and normal... I've been really nervous about trying more solid foods with Lydia because of this, she still eats a lot of baby food, which according to her doctors is a good thing, bland foods so she doesn't get sick when she's doing chemo.. Once she's done with that maybe I'll get a little braver, and a tooth or two, or three would help!

Thank you all!
