Question
What is the situation if the child is 10 and a half months old and has not yet grown any teeth?
Answer
Not growing teeth at 10 and a half months is not abnormal; the general teething period is between 4 to 10 months, and the number of teeth should match the age minus 4 to 6 months. If the child has not grown any teeth by one year old, then it may be considered an abnormal condition. For the issue of possible calcium deficiency, it is recommended to undergo a trace element test to determine the situation. At the same time, appropriate calcium and cod liver oil supplements can be taken, and increased sun exposure can promote calcium absorption. The daily sun exposure should not exceed two hours, and attention must be paid to direct sunlight rather than through glass, as this can effectively promote calcium absorption. This is currently the most natural method with no side effects.
