Dear Mr XXXXXXX
I assume you meant to say that she does not have teeth and thats worrisome to you. Correct me if I am wrong.
Do not worry every child is unique and has different ages of appearance of teeth. There is no definitive age at which teeth appear, there is only reference age : Ideally teeth can appear anywhere between 6 months to 15 months of age. Slight delay without any other associated developmental delay , there does not seem to be cause for concern.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you
Take Care
