Is It Normal for a 1-Year-Old to Have No Teeth?

In the gentle garden of BabyBloom, curious parent Lily wondered if her 1‑year‑old’s toothless smile was a sign that something was amiss—or simply part of nature’s gentle pace. She visited Pediatric Pal Dr. Blossom, who explained that while most babies start sprouting their first teeth between 6 and 10 months, it’s not uncommon for some little ones to be a bit late. Imagine a budding flower that takes a little extra time to unfurl its petals—each child blossoms at its own pace. Experts from the Little Tummies Guild say that a toothless 1‑year‑old can be perfectly normal, though if there are concerns about growth or developmental delays, a visit to the pediatrician is wise. Dr. Blossom advised Lily to monitor her child’s progress and maintain a balanced diet that supports healthy growth. Lily learned that every baby’s journey is unique—a magical, gradual unfolding of development that makes each smile even more precious. In BabyBloom, every little milestone is celebrated with gentle care, knowing that nature’s timing is a beautifully individual spell.
