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) at 6 months
Deciduous lateral incisors (4 teeth) at 10 months
First deciduous molars (4 teeth) at 14 months
Deciduous canines (4 teeth) at 18 months
Second deciduous molars (4 teeth) at 22 months
A trace element test may be conducted to check for calcium deficiency.
