Your daughter's teeth are coming properly.. Do not worry. By the end of 2 years her all the teeth will be out. If you want proper evaluation you can get it checked at the age of 2 years.

It's all erupting almost correctly. Nothing to worry about.
Go for a regular Check up 6 months later.
1.Wipe off all surfaces of teeth with soft, clean, wet cotton cloth with moderate pressure which will further smoothen the teeth surfaces, that will lead to least accumulation of microorganisms on tooth surface >> less chances of caries initiation and further food lodgement.
2.Tongue cleaning thoroughly with clean and wet cotton cloth.daily after food.
1 & 2 are mandatory after every breastfeeding or bottle milk consumption.

Yes, the tooth is coming out in proper time, U need not worry, by the age of 11-13 all the permanent teeth will come and in between all milk tooth will erupt and shed off at its own time .In between there will a stage called ugly duckling stage where the kid teeth will have gaps and won't be aligned properly and that is also normal phenomenon.
Health Tips
Maintain oral hygiene as the tooth should shed of at naturally but not bcoz of cavity (extraction )
Shedding of teeth at right time will give proper aligned permanent teeth

Absolutely perfect. Your daughter is having correct number of teeth that should have in her age of years.
Tips for healthy mouth and healthy
1. Chew nicely and eat, so that the jaws grow good, so you get space for the teeth to come, avoiding crooked teeth in future.
