First, if you have carefully checked and found everything is normal with your baby, you don't need to worry. Generally, babies around 6 months old will start to get their first tooth, though some may delay until around 10 months. It's also normal for some babies to get their first tooth around their first birthday. This may be due to hereditary factors passed down through generations or delayed growth and development. Basically, most babies will have all their teeth by the time they are around 2 and a half years old.2. As long as your baby doesn't have any other health issues, pay attention to providing him with appropriate mashed foods, and let him get plenty of sunlight. This will help ensure his teeth grow in one by one. However, if your baby is only starting to get teeth at 18 months, it's important to investigate the cause. This could be due to conditions like rickets, or it may be accompanied by other abnormalities. In such cases, you should take your baby to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. It's crucial not to blindly supplement with fish oil, calcium supplements, or other medications without a doctor's advice.
