To child

is she missing teeth?

my dd is 16 months. she got her first teeth at nine months. now she has her 4 front teeth, and 4 molars (2 on the top, 2 on the bottom).
that seems weird to me! the molars are at least 2 "teeth spaces" away from her front teeth. i thought kids were supposed to get their canines before they got their molars. has this happened to anyone else?

^_^:
Don't worry, this is the normal pattern for eruption of baby teeth! Your daughter's baby canines will come in next (in the area where she's "missing" a tooth) and then she'll get her 2nd molars.
