Cavit syrup doses
My 9-year-old child lost a tooth more than two months ago, but the permanent tooth has still not come in. I wanted to know if it is okay to give Cavit Syrup to help with tooth growth. If yes, what would be the appropriate dosage for a 9-year-old?

There is no evidence that Cavit Syrup or calcium/vitamin supplements can make a permanent tooth erupt faster if the tooth is otherwise developing normally. In many children, it can take up to 6 months (and sometimes longer) for the permanent tooth to appear after a milk tooth falls out, depending on its position and stage of development.
Since it has already been more than 2 months, I would recommend a consultation with a pedodontist (children’s dentist). A simple IOPA or OPG X-ray can confirm whether the permanent tooth is present, developing normally, or if there is any obstruction delaying eruption.
Next Steps
If the child has a balanced diet and no diagnosed calcium or vitamin D deficiency, Cavit Syrup is generally not required solely to promote tooth eruption, so I would not recommend starting it without your pediatrician’s or dentist’s advice.

Meet your Pedodontist.
Get X-ray done (called OPG)
Check for the permanent tooth at what stage it is. If need be doctor can do a small exposure for teeth to erupt. Depending upon which tooth and age do your child eruption time varies, so accordingly the dentist will decide whether to wait or do exposure surgery.
Next Steps
Do the OPG
Health Tips
Share opg, don’t give any medicine.

Don't give any syrup without doctors advice . Take you child to a dentist so that they will check for any remaining tooth present and guide you accordingly. As it is time for permanent dentition each tooth has its own eruption time
