Patient's question:
My son is already one year old and hasn't gotten his teeth yet. We've given him a lot of calcium gluconate, but it still hasn't helped. Will he not get his teeth at all? Are there any treatment methods available? The calcium level checked is just a bit over 127.Doctor's answer:
Hello, calcium deficiency is a common and prevalent disease in children. It not only affects children's growth and development but is also a source of many illnesses. One of the main reasons for calcium deficiency in children is insufficient sunlight exposure and inadequate light irradiation. Therefore, spring and summer are the golden seasons for children to supplement calcium. For this reason, in addition to providing children with more foods rich in calcium and vitamin D during spring and summer, parents should also frequently take children outdoors to play and sunbathe, promoting the conversion of vitamin precursors in children's skin into vitamin D, thereby enhancing calcium absorption and utilization.
