No Panic: There is no cause for alarm. In the first year of life children consume a lot of milk so calcium is not a problem. There are children who teeth later and once they start, they catch up quick. If she is healthy and developing milestones like rolling over,sitting unsupported, standing while holding on, speech sounds as expected, there is no cause for alarm. Keep your pediatric well visit apointments

Teething patterns: Teething patterns in infants is highly variable. Some babies don't get their first tooth until after one year of age. Absence of teeth completely is rare, but can easily be checked by a dental xray. Consult with a pediatric dentist for more information.

Teeth: First teeth can arrive as late as a year, later if your child was premature. If no teeth by a year, discuss the problem with your pediatrician

STOP!: Stop dosing your child with extraneous compounds. You can' taller genetically controlled timing of eruption. You can, however, damage the enamel formation of both baby and permanent teeth, by dosing your child with chemicals. At 1st b'day, even if no teeth have as yet urupted, take your child to a Pediatric Dental Specialist for growth and development evaluation and so much more.

Stop: Stop giving your baby supplements unless directed by your pediatrician. The timing of the appearance of teeth is genetically determined. Be patient and try not to stress about it.

Be patient: This is not unusual. I have seen kids not have teeth for a year. It is not a calcium deficiency so don't overdo the supplements, just normal healthy diet and wait. If the teeth do not erupt past 1 year old then see a dentist to have an x-ray taken to see where the teeth are developing.

Baby teeth: Don't worry. Your daughter is still in the normal timeframe for tooth eruption. The first teeth should come in by her first birthday. If they do not then have an evaluation with a pediatric dentist.

Tooth development: Can happen from 4 months and later. Many children do not get first tooth until age of 12 months. In general as long as there is one tooth that has erupted by 12 months then still considered normal. If not have child seen by pediatric dentist for evaluation. Familial pattern exists, ask grandparents when parents developed/erupted their first tooth. Usually similar in offspring

DTE, no worry: Delayed Tooth Eruption. It is not uncommon up to one year old patients with primary teeth have not erupted in the mouth yet. I see no reason for concern. Good luck.

Teeth: Timing of eruption of teeth is highly variable. I know a family where the 1st baby had a tooth at 5 1/2 months and the second baby at 12 months. Don't give up yet but beyond 15 months if there are no teeth see your physician.

No worries: In most cases teeth come whenever they are meant to erupt. Primary teeth begin to erupt around 6 months of age and iis completed by 24-36months. Only after a delay of 12 months does it become necessary to doo further dental evaluation.

No supplements: Taking supplements will not effect the timing of tooth eruption. You should check with your pediatric dentist if you are concerned and to be sure there are no systemic problems.
