Question
My son is already one year old, but he hasn’t grown any teeth yet. He has taken calcium gluconate, but still hasn’t grown any teeth. Is there a problem? What are the treatment methods? His calcium test result is 127.
Answer
Hello, tooth development issues in one-year-old children are relatively common and are related to calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency can affect a child’s growth and development and lead to various diseases. Among them, insufficient sunlight exposure is one of the important reasons for calcium deficiency in children. Therefore, in spring and summer, in addition to increasing the child’s intake of foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, it is also necessary to often take the child outdoors for activities and sunbathing to promote the synthesis of vitamin D, which helps in the absorption and utilization of calcium.
