Question
10 and a Half Months Without Growing Teeth
Answer
The first milk tooth should emerge around 6 months of age. If a child has not grown the first milk tooth by 1 year old, it is considered late in the eruption of milk teeth. Your baby is not even a year old yet, so there is no need to worry. It is recommended to expose the baby to more sunlight and consider taking calcium oral liquid. If a child has not grown any teeth by 1 year old, parents should take their child to the hospital. If the child has not grown any teeth after using calcium and vitamin D supplements and other diseases have been ruled out, an X-ray should be taken at the hospital to determine if there are any tooth buds within the gum bed. If there are tooth buds, they will eventually grow out. If there are no tooth buds, one should consider the issue of tooth agenesis.
