Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. no
the child is not having calcium deficiency than no need to worry about teething.
for tooth development and eruption the first important thing is that the child should not have deficiency of calcium and vitamin d.
first tooth eruption can occur anytime between 6 months to 18 months of age.
deficiency is there or not will be told by the doctor.
there is no need to worry because many times the first tooth eruption may occur as late as 16 to 18 months of age also.
so if your personal doctor is not worried then no need to worry from your side

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. There isn't scientific evidence to suggest that calcium supplements can lead to early teething in babies. Teething typically begins around 6 months of age, but it can vary widely from baby to baby. Teething is a natural process influenced by genetic factors and not typically influenced by dietary supplements.
Calcium supplements are often recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to support their own health and the development of their baby's bones and teeth. However, excessive calcium intake can lead to health problems, so it's essential to follow dosage recommendations from healthcare providers.
If you have concerns about your baby's teething or calcium intake, it's best to consult with a pediatrician for personalized advice and guidance. They can assess your baby's development and provide recommendations based on their individual needs.
