Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The central incisors usually erupts first followed by the lateral incisors. Sometimes the eruption sequence may change. The lateral incisor can erupt first. Nothing to worry. Consult a oral physician and take a radiograph to rule out whether the central incisor is there or not.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
