If you and your siblings were late teethers and you had no problems, then I'd say it's just genetic and there's no point worrying. Do you know when you got teeth?

Both mine were late teethers as well. DS was about 14 months when he got his first and DD is 3 in a week and she still doesn't have any molars. I wouldn't worry. There is the option of having a dental xray just to make sure the teeth are actually in the gums waiting to come down but only do it if you are really worried.

My DS2 didn't get his first tooth until 15 or 16 months (can't remember which one right now sorry)
I copped the same things as you are. I loved my gummy little guy and having no teeth didn't stop him from doing the things toothy bubbas were doing. My DS could strip the meat off a lamb cutlet just as well as a child with teeth! lol
One thing that was of a concern to me and the MHN was my sons speech delay. They believed it to be contributed to the lack of teeth and I often wonder if that is true, as when he did start developing teeth his speech picked up too.
