When a baby is in the stage of growing baby teeth, parents will be very concerned about the baby's tooth growth. Especially after one year old, babies have many baby teeth sprouting out. How many teeth will a 15 month old baby have? This is also a question that new parents want to know.
At 4 to 6 months old, babies gradually start to have baby teeth. As they age, the baby teeth will grow longer and more. Generally, around two years old, all 20 baby teeth will grow out. But some babies may have delayed teething and may not have all their baby teeth until around two and a half years old.
Most babies should have around 9-11 teeth when they are 15 months old. If a baby has delayed teething and fewer baby teeth, calcium deficiency should be considered as a reason. It is recommended to go to the hospital for trace element testing to determine if the baby's body lacks calcium, and to supplement calcium preparations according to the doctor's guidance to promote the growth of baby teeth.
Babies with calcium deficiency in their bodies need to increase their intake of calcium rich foods, such as soy products, dairy products, eggs, lean meat, etc. These types of complementary foods should be added in moderation. A 15 month old baby should pay attention to nutritional diversity as the food they eat can be closer to adult food. To avoid a single diet that leads to a lack of certain nutrients in the body, which can also cause delayed teething in babies. And often taking the baby to bask in the sun can also promote calcium absorption in the body, which is helpful for tooth growth.
