The child is 9 months old and has not yet teethered. Is this normal?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Children of the same age have already teething, but my child has not. Also, the hair is very sparse. Consultation: Is it normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the baby's teeth have not yet erupted, it can be considered delayed teething. Generally, some babies may start teething around the age of one. Since your baby is only nine months old now, you can wait and see. For full-term babies, they should start taking 400 units of vitamin D daily from the 15th day after birth to promote calcium absorption. If they do not take it on time, it may lead to symptoms of calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency can also cause delayed teething.
