Although the time for babies to grow teeth is different, they will have their teeth fully grown by around the age of two. At this point, the baby can also eat some solid food. They are able to chew these foods into shapes that are conducive to gastrointestinal absorption. So how many teeth does a 17 month old baby have?
Most babies grow 11 to 14 teeth by the age of 17 months. Babies have different physical development, so the time and number of teeth they grow will also vary. Some babies may start growing teeth at 4 months old, while others may need to wait until 6 months old to start growing teeth.
The timing of a baby's tooth growth is related to genetic factors. Some parents grow teeth later, and their babies will also inherit their characteristics, resulting in delayed tooth growth. On the contrary, if parents grow teeth early, babies will also grow teeth early. Another thing is the baby's own nutrition. If it is rich, teeth will grow earlier. If the nutritional deficiency is severe, not only will teeth grow later, but the body's development will also become later.
But all babies have the same order of tooth growth, with two teeth facing each other when they grow teeth. Growing an upper tooth will result in the corresponding growth of a lower facing tooth. But if it is found that the order of the baby's teeth growth is incorrect or the teeth grow slowly, it is necessary to check the baby's trace elements to determine whether the baby's nutrition is missing.
