Delayed tooth eruption
My son is 10.5 months old. He got his first 2 teeth at 7 months and they came out half away and then slowly full length. He has not got any other teeth yet . His lateral incisors were looking like they would come out first but now they along with central incisors are visible under the gums. All the four teeth look like they're going to erup but it's been 15-20 days but they have not cut out of the gums.

First of all, relax. Every child is different. My son had his first tooth when he was 12 months old. So it's different for different children. The appearance of tooth under the gums is a very normal part of eruption process and rest assured, the tooth is on its way and can take upto 1 to 3 months in total to appear in the oral cavity. Trust me, i can tell you my first hand experience. It is not eruption delay. Being a parent is a huge mental load in itself and you are doing a wonderful job. As new parents, we are tempted to look into every tiny detail which is a good thing but worrying leads to addition of that parental anxiety which we dont need.
Next Steps
Sit back and relax. Enjoy the growth of your child!

It takes time for teeth to erupt. They will come gradually on their own.. All teeth have their particular time period to erupt. So no need to worry as they will come later.
The only thing is whatever teeth are visible you need to clean them regularly.
