Patient's question:
One and a half monthsDetailed medical condition and consultation purpose: My baby started teething at 9 months (the two lower teeth) and it took about three weeks from being invisible and touchable to being visible and able to be seen.
Now, at almost one year old, there are no signs of teething! I want to ask what could be the reason for this? Is it normal? If it's not normal, what can be done?
Doctor's answer:
Some children can start teething at 4 months, while others may not even show their first milk tooth until they are 10 months old. In this case, you can check the baby's trace elements. If they are normal, parents don't need to be overly anxious and should not overuse calcium supplements. The timing of tooth eruption is related to genetic factors, physical development, and the position of the tooth germ.
