Hi don't panic, it's not unusual for the delayed eruption of teeth..  Go to a good dentist, he will prescribe an IOPA or OPG,  and then assess whether the kid requires surgical exposure of teeth or should you wait and watch
Next Steps
Go to nearby good dentist
Health Tips
Give your child hard things to bite on,  like cookies, carrots, cucumber

It's not a problem to worry as each and every individual is different so are their teeth eruption pattern's , in some children they erupt at around the age of 1yr 6months . But if it gets more late than this then you should consult with a pedodontist and get an IOPA done. You can give hard things like carrot to bite on.
