Question

My 2.5-year-old baby’s milk teeth haven’t grown in yet, and we’ve checked for trace elements but there’s no calcium deficiency. He hasn’t been treated before. I want to know what the reason could be.

Answer

Milk teeth typically start to grow around 6 months of age and are usually fully grown by 2.5 years old. However, your child’s situation may be related to thicker oral gingiva or deeper tooth positions. It is suggested that you take your child to the hospital dental department for a check-up.
