Doctor's answer:
Baby teething late may be related to genetics. If one parent has late teething, the baby is also likely to have late teething. Additionally, if the baby's gums are thick, it can also affect the eruption of milk teeth. In fact, the timing of teething is not particularly related to nutrition. Most children in Africa are undernourished, yet they still have a full set of white teeth. You can give your baby some teething biscuits to chew more, which can promote teething. Also, since blood calcium content is only 1% of the whole body, and once the body lacks calcium, it will automatically decompose from the bones into the blood. Therefore, if blood calcium is close to the minimum standard, it is also possible to be calcium-deficient and should be supplemented appropriately, with a recommended dosage of 100 milligrams per day. You don't need to worry too much about this issue.
