That is totally normal. He may experience no problems. Some don't. Once in awhile, they will have lots of trouble. They are no different than people. Some have no problems or few, while others may actually throw up and have quite a time. As long as he eats his dry kibble, encourage it. If he starts not eating it, then you can offer wet food for awhile or scramble him an egg once in awhile.
Give him plenty of things to chew on like nylabones, even bullies; play tug of war to help pull the teeth out. Once in awhile you may find a tooth or see some blood on a stuffed toy. That will be normal, too, and nothing to worry about.
