Patient's question:
10 months without teething is not long, as a parent, I am very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the issue I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.Doctor's answer:
The first milk tooth should erupt around 6 months of age. If a child has not developed their first milk tooth by the age of 1, it is considered late eruption. Your baby is now one year old and there is no need to rush. It is recommended to get more sun exposure and consider taking calcium supplements.If a child has not developed any teeth by the age of 1, the parent should take them to the hospital for a check-up. If the child still has not developed teeth after taking calcium and vitamin D, and other diseases have been ruled out, then an X-ray should be taken to determine if there are tooth germs in the jaw. If tooth germs are present, the teeth will eventually erupt. If there are no tooth germs, the issue of hypodontia (missing teeth) should be considered.
