Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2008Help...My son is 18 months old ,but only 4 teeth.
To all of readers, My son is 18 months old ,but only 4 teeth. We also have done the blood test in hospital, and find out some lack of mirco-elements Zinc / Cu . We have fed the medicine to reinforce these elements with doctors' suggestion for one months,and will go on the treatment for two months. Some backgroud info: 1)For my mistake, my son had loose bowels during his 6 ~ 7 months old. 2)We made a long journey (25 hours by trian + 4 hours by bus ) to my parents' house when my baby is 8 months old, and went back to my work plant. 3)We made another long journey (25 hours by trian + about 4 hours by bus)to my parents-in-law ,and went back to my work plant also. My son was one year old. 4)The first tooth came out when my son is 14 months old. And we saw the three teeth coming out within last 4 month. Thanks for your kindly solution or suggestion. -- With warm wishes... Bryan Is your question related to why does the child have only 4 teeth?  Signature/ Amatus / > To all of readers, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > With warm wishes... > Bryan Bryan A dentist answered your question here on the 13th Mar, and you may not have access to it, so I will repeat it here. Quote: Rarely a question that I have to answer. First teeth usually come in about 6 months (lower central incisors) followed rather quickly by the upper centrals, then laterals on the lower and laterals on the upper. Then first molars lower and upper, then canines, and then second molars (IIRC). Usually all done by three years. "Average" and "cause for concern" are often months-years apart. Four teeth at 18 months is a little slow, but it makes a lot of difference when the first tooth erupted. If that was at 6 months, I would be a little concerned. If they didn't cut the first tooth until 9-12 months and the eruption sequence is normal, I wouldn't be too worried. If the parents are worried, that's what pediatric dentists are for. JMO without looking anything up and not being a pediatric dentist. quoted by Gail Michael
