Baby first tooth
My baby girl is 8 months 15 days old.. She didn't get her first tooth yet.. Is it normal? She is drooling a lot and trying to chew on everything.. Also we got her hair tonsured yesterday and noticed small patches on scalp while tonsure.. Attaching picture of it.. Pls let me know what it is and if I need to apply anything
Regarding teeth - You can wait up to 15-18 months for teeth to erupt in a child. If after 18 months, no teeth, then visit a dentist to evaluate further.
Regarding the spots on the head, it may be due to tonsuring procedure itself. If it doesn’t subside in a few days, consult a Dermatologist for the same.
Please book an appointment to discuss further.
