Where is my 8th tooth?


1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 teethes are erupted. Eh....where is my 8th tooth? According to the Teeth Eruption development Chart, the first teeth begin to break through the gums at about 6 months of age. Eruption times can vary from child to child.
1) Usually, the first two teeth to erupt are the two bottom central incisors (the two bottom front teeth). Yes, Eugene has his two bottom teeth out when he was 71/2 months old which is considered a bit slow.
2) Next, the top four front teeth emerge. Yes, Eugene has his top two front teeth out when he was 9 months old and another top two teethes are out after the next month.
3) After that, other teeth slowly begin to fill in, usually in pairs - one each side of the upper or lower jaw - until all 20 teeth (10 in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw).
Currently, Eugene has filled in only one tooth on the side of lower jaw. But the facts should fill in in pairs. So where is my 8th tooth?
