Donot panic.
Delayed erruption is quite common these days due to changing lifestyle.
Donot overthink on the baby's health.
Usually the first teeth errupts between 6-7 months. 9.3 month old depicts a slight delay.
Children have 20 teeth. By the age of 3...all 20 should have errupted.

It's normal sometimes the eruption period delays. The normal eruption time is 6 months and cmplt till 2-3 yrs, delays of 1-5 months from this period is acceptable. The important thing is the presence of tooth bud. Don't worry it's healthy. Just take care of the present teeth.
