Q: 16 month old son, has 3 teeth on bottom and 4 teeth on top ?

Extremely eHealthy

I have a 16 month old son, and he has already started getting his 2 year molars. He only has 3 teeth on bottom and 4 teeth on top...Isn't he supposed to have another tooth on his bottom gums?

Is this even normal? I'm just hoping he doesn't have something wrong with his teeth...it took forever for him to even get any because he has hypothyroidism which causes delayed teething in babies.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thankkk youuuu. Very Happy
