Question
My child is 7 and a half weeks old and is currently going through the tooth replacement period. However, the teeth are growing slowly, the incisors are underdeveloped, there are gaps between them that are quite wide, and they sweat excessively on the back of their head during sleep. What could be the cause of this? What should we pay attention to?
Answer
Primary teeth are typically replaced by permanent teeth between the ages of 7 and 8. Tooth growth varies from person to person, and the gaps between incisors are normal and will gradually close as other teeth grow in. There is no need to pay special attention to calcium supplementation or other matters. I hope this reassures you.
