Patient's question:
Why hasn't a 7-year-old child showing signs of teething yet? This has been going on for some time, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can give some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the general age for children's milk teeth to fall out is around 5-7 years old. If they haven't fallen out after 7 years, it's recommended to have a check-up at the hospital. Delayed milk teeth shedding is often directly related to calcium deficiency, so it's important to supplement calcium promptly. While doing so, it's advisable to get more sun exposure, as it can help with calcium absorption and speed up the shedding of milk teeth and the growth of permanent teeth. Alternatively, you can visit the hospital and have a dental examination to determine if an X-ray is necessary to check if permanent teeth are impacted in the gums or if there are any developmental issues.
