As we all know, a lack of calcium in the body can bring many harms, especially to infants, which is not conducive to their bone growth. And there is a certain relationship between human oral teeth and calcium, so some people believe that slow tooth growth in infants is related to calcium. So, does a lack of calcium in a baby's body cause teeth to grow later?
In general, babies develop normally and only grow their first baby tooth around the age of one or two, which can still be considered a normal physiological range. Moreover, calcium deficiency in infants may not necessarily affect their own tooth growth. If parents unilaterally believe that calcium deficiency causes delayed tooth growth in infants, it is not right to blindly and excessively supplement calcium for infants. Because excessive calcium supplementation for infants can cause calcium toxicity and affect their healthy growth.
So parents need to have a deep understanding of the reasons for babies' delayed tooth growth. Generally, delayed tooth growth in infants is actually due to certain genetic reasons. Secondly, if the baby is born prematurely or has congenital diseases, it can affect the baby's tooth growth. In addition, malnutrition or external impact can also affect the baby's oral health, thereby affecting the baby's tooth growth time.
So if parents want their babies to grow teeth normally, they need to timely supplement their body nutrition and maintain a balanced body nutrition. And it is necessary to keep the baby's mouth and teeth clean, rinse their mouth after meals, and if possible, it is best to clean the baby's mouth with gauze. In addition, taking babies outdoors to bask in the sun can promote calcium absorption and aid in tooth growth.
