The eruption of baby teeth can vary widely among infants, and there's a broad range of what's considered normal. Typically, the first teeth to emerge are the lower central incisors (front bottom teeth), and they usually appear between 6 to 10 months of age. However, some babies may get their first tooth a bit earlier, while others might not see their first tooth until after their first birthday.
It's not uncommon for teeth to come in one at a time, with a gap between the appearance of each tooth. While it's more common to see teeth emerge in pairs, there's no strict rule about how many teeth should come in at once.
In your case, if your son has one visible tooth in front at 7 months and 17 days, that's still within the range of normal development. Babies' timelines for teething can vary, and as long as your child's overall health is good and there are no other concerning symptoms, there's likely no need for immediate concern.
If you have any worries or questions about your child's dental development, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your pediatrician or a pediatric dentist. They can provide personalized advice based on your child's specific situation and offer guidance on how to care for your baby's emerging teeth.
