POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. It’s perfectly normal for a baby to have only a few teeth by their first birthday. Babies typically get their first tooth between 6 to 10 months, and the full set of 20 primary teeth usually comes in by the age of 3.
Having only four teeth at one year is within the normal range, as some babies may take a bit longer to start teething. Every baby develops at their own pace. However, here are some tips for caring for your baby's teeth:
Tips for Teething Babies:
1. Continue Regular Oral Hygiene:
Gently clean your baby’s teeth and gums with a soft cloth or a baby toothbrush to avoid plaque buildup.
2. Teething Relief:
If your baby is uncomfortable, offer chilled teething rings or soft foods like chilled fruit slices.
3. Healthy Diet:
Keep offering nutritious foods like mashed fruits and vegetables, and ensure they're getting plenty of milk or formula.
4. Monitor for Additional Teeth:
Most babies get around 8 teeth by their first birthday, but some take longer. Keep an eye on the arrival of additional teeth.
If you’re concerned or if your baby’s teething seems painful or unusually slow, it’s always a good idea to talk to your pediatrician. They can help determine if there's any need for further evaluation.
