Why is it that my baby's teeth grow late?

When a child's teeth come out, he can eat a lot of soft food, and teething proves that the child can grow up healthily. It is normal for a baby to have teething, but there is a difference between early and late teething. Too early or too late teething will cause concern for parents. Due to lack of knowledge, some parents think that their baby is lacking something and blindly supplement it, which has adverse effects on the baby's body. Generally, no treatment is needed, but why does the baby's teeth grow late?

In fact, tooth growth varies from person to person. In many cases, it is related to genetics and the condition of the gums, and of course it also has a certain relationship with calcium.

Generally speaking, babies should start to grow teeth 6 to 8 months after birth. The first deciduous teeth to erupt are the two central incisors in the middle of the mandible, followed by the central incisors in the maxilla, then the lateral incisors in the mandible and maxilla (the second on each side), the first deciduous molars (the fourth on each side), the deciduous canines (the third on each side) and the second deciduous molars (the last). By the age of two and a half, all the deciduous teeth will have grown in.

However, due to differences in climate, living standards, physical constitution, etc., the timing of teeth eruption in babies is slightly different, and some children may erupt earlier than others. However, if the child has not grown teeth by the age of 1, he or she should be examined by a pediatrician or dentist.

Every baby's body is different and there are great individual differences, so the order of teeth growth is different. Some babies grow teeth late, only at the age of one, and grow four teeth at once. Some babies grow canine teeth first and then incisors; some babies grow two teeth and then stop growing for a long time. These are common and are normal. They are all within the normal range. As long as the baby has teeth, it is normal and there is no need to worry about anything else.

Never think that your baby is lacking something just because his teeth grow slowly and blindly supplement his teeth. This is very bad for your baby.

To sum up, we have understood why the baby's teeth grow late. As long as the baby can eat and drink and is in good health, there is no need to worry. In terms of complementary food, the nutrition should be balanced and comprehensive, eat more vegetables, fruits, and some protein-rich meat, and supplement calcium appropriately. This is best for the baby's body.
