Patient's question:
At the age of 1 year and 7 months, the child has only grown 6 teeth. Is it related to the fact that he mainly eats porridge and occasionally eats some rice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it should have nothing to do with "eating porridge mainly and occasionally eating some rice."2-year-old children's total number of deciduous teeth is greater than or equal to the age minus 4-6 months. The order and timing of teething are roughly as follows:
Deciduous central incisors (4 teeth) - 6 months
Deciduous lateral incisors (4 teeth) - 10 months
First deciduous molars (4 teeth) - 14 months
Deciduous canines (4 teeth) - 18 months
Second deciduous molars (4 teeth) - 22 months
A trace element test may be conducted to check for calcium deficiency.
