#asktheexpert mera beta 13 month ka ho chuka hai pr uske daant abhi tk nhi aaye hai kya reason ho skta hai

A. It is normal for some babies to get their first teeth late, and teething can start anytime between 6 to 18 months. If your 13-month-old baby has no teeth yet, there is usually no need to worry. Some possible reasons include genetics, calcium or vitamin D deficiency, or slower development. To support teething, give calcium-rich foods like dairy (milk, curd, paneer), ragi, almonds, and sesame seeds. Also, ensure enough vitamin D through sunlight exposure or supplements if advised by a doctor. If no teeth appear by 18 months, consult a pediatrician or dentist to check for any underlying issues.
