  1. Late Teething In Babies

  2. Contents of this Article Babies typically experience teething between 4 to 15 months of age. Nowadays, delayed or late teething is considered normal and not a cause for concern until your baby reaches 15 months. Introduction General Baby Teething Schedule Around seven months old, your baby's lower front row should display their first teeth. Causes For Delayed Teething Various factors contribute to delayed teething in infants, spanning from minor to significant causes. Complications Of Late Teething Delayed teething may indicate future dental cavities for your child.

  3. Introduction Babies typically experience teething from 4 to 15 months old. Nowadays, delayed teething is considered normal and not worrisome until your baby reaches 15 months. However, if the delay extends beyond 18 months, it's advisable to seek advice from a pediatric dentist, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

  4. General Baby Teething Schedule

  5. By around 7 months, your baby should have their first teeth in the lower front. Ideally, at 11 months, they should have four teeth. Subsequently, four more teeth will appear every four months until they reach 27 months. So, at 15 months, they should ideally have 8 teeth, and at 19 months, 12 teeth. Similarly, at 23 months, your baby will have 16 teeth, and their final set of milk teeth is expected to appear by 27 months.

  6. Meanwhile, the timelines for the eruption of lower teeth include Central incisor 6 to 10 months Lateral incisor 10 to 16 months Canine (cuspid) 17 to 23 months First molar 14 to 18 months Second molar 23 to 31 months

  7. According to the American Dental Association, typical timelines for the upper teeth eruption are Central incisor 8 to 12 months Lateral incisor 9 to 13 months Canine (cuspid) 16 to 22 months First molar 13 to 19 months Second molar 25 to 33 months

  8. CAUSES FOR DELAYED TEETHING

  9. There are several causes behind late teething in babies ranging from mild to severe. We have tried to list the main causes of this problem Genetics: Baby's genes can contribute to delayed teething. If either or both of ● you experienced this as infants, expect your baby to face it too. Premature birth or low birth weight:Preterm birth occurs before 37 ● weeks of pregnancy. Preemies face increased risk of delayed growth and development, including eruption delay. Low birth weight infants are prone to developmental challenges.

  10. Syndromes: Certain syndromes, such as Down Syndrome and Apert ● Syndrome, may result in delayed tooth eruption. Fibrosis: Fibrosis thickens gums, hindering teeth eruption and causing delays ● to some degree. Lack of nutrition:Insufficient nutrition hinders bone and tissue ● development in kids. This occurs when babies lack sufficient breast milk or formula enriched with vitamins and calcium.

  11. Hormones:Limited hormone production by the thyroid and pituitary glands ● may impact your baby's growth and development, causing delayed teething. Diseases and medication: Diseases like anemia, cancer, HIV, and certain ● meds such as chemo and phenytoin can cause delayed teething in infants. Injuries:Jaw bone injury may harm tooth buds in gums, leading to delayed ● or absent teething.

  12. COMPLICATIONS OF LATE TEETHING

  13. Some of the serious complications of late teething in babies are Deformed jawbones and asymmetrical face:Delay in teeth eruption ● may result in jaw bone shrinkage, leading to facial sagging over time. ● Crooked permanent teeth:Delayed milk teeth eruption hinders permanent teeth growth, leading to misaligned dentition. ● Delay in chewing food:Delayed teething hinders your baby's ability to chew food promptly.

  14. Hyperdontia:Named supernumerary teeth, this is a condition where infants ● possess an excess of teeth, surpassing the normal number. You'll observe two sets of teeth—baby teeth and permanent teeth—emerging simultaneously. ● Formation of cysts: Impacted permanent teeth can damage tissues and develop cysts. Consulting a pediatric dentist is essential to prevent dental cavities caused by delayed teething in your baby's early years. Act promptly to avoid future complications.
