Question
Is there a need to worry about calcium deficiency or other nutritional issues if a baby over a year old hasn’t grown any teeth?
Answer
Babies typically start teething between 4 and 10 months. However, if a baby hasn’t grown any teeth by 12 months, it could be due to malnutrition, calcium deficiency, vitamin or protein deficiency, or other reasons causing delayed emergence of primary teeth. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the specific cause and receive professional assistance.
