Patient's question:
My child is already ten and a half months old, but their teeth haven't come in yet. Is it possible they are calcium deficient?Treatment history and effectiveness: They haven't seen a doctor yet.
What kind of help are you looking for: What should they eat?
Doctor's answer:
The normal teething time for babies is between 4 to 10 months, but there is also a significant individual variation. If a baby has not teethered by 12 months, it may be due to delayed milk tooth eruption, which could be caused by reasons such as malnutrition, calcium deficiency, vitamin deficiency, or a lack of protein. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up first.Generally, milk teeth begin to erupt 4 to 6 months after birth. Some children may take until 10 months, which is normal. If a child has not teethered by 12 months, it is considered abnormal.
