At the beginning of a baby's birth, they do not have teeth. However, after birth, the baby gradually grows and begins to grow teeth. However, some babies of the same age have already grown several teeth, and their own babies have not yet grown teeth. As a mother, she will be very worried. So, will a lack of calcium in babies affect teething?
Calcium substances have a significant impact on the human body. Normally, a lack of calcium can easily affect tooth growth. However, it should be noted that the timing of each baby's teething is different, with some babies teething relatively early and others later.
Moreover, the timing of a baby's tooth growth is not something that can be decided by the baby alone, as it is related to genetic factors. Secondly, if the mother of the baby does not supplement calcium substances during pregnancy, or if the amount of calcium nutrition supplemented during pregnancy is relatively low, there is no doubt that this situation will also affect the timing of the baby's tooth growth after birth.
If it is determined that the baby is calcium deficient, it will definitely affect the baby's tooth growth, but delayed tooth growth may not necessarily be the cause of calcium deficiency. So, parents should not assume that their baby is calcium deficient just because they have delayed tooth growth, and then supplement their baby with a lot of calcium and other foods. But it is necessary to decide whether to supplement calcium for the baby based on their actual physical condition.
