What should I do if my baby has fewer teeth than expected?

Patient's question:

My baby is one and a half years old and has only grown six teeth. The trace element test showed no calcium deficiency. Please advise what to do,

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. Based on your child's condition, these are symptoms of calcium deficiency. It is recommended that you supplement your child with more calcium, such as by giving them more bone broth to drink, and also have them take some calcium supplements. Additionally, encourage them to spend more time outdoors in the sun to ensure the supplemented calcium is fully absorbed. If they do not get enough sun exposure, then even if they take supplements, it will be in vain, as the body will simply not be able to absorb it.
