Generally, by three years of age, all children are expected to have a complete set of 20 primary teeth. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children with no sign of teeth at 18 months should be taken to a dentist. The average age range for the first baby teeth to appear is between four and fifteen months. Permanent teeth begin to show up when a child clocks six years of age. You shouldn’t necessarily be much concerned with teeth that do not follow the analyzed pattern. But children with no teeth eruption at all can signal the onset of more advanced problems. Whenever a child’s tooth eruption falls out of the regular schedule, it could be a result of several factors. Family traits, nutritional deficiencies, vitamin-D resistant rickets, and Down syndrome are a few to mention. According to a research evidence sighted in American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, some genetic deformities could be responsible for poorly formed teeth and delayed tooth eruption. In fact, low birth weight and preterm babies may also experience a delay in tooth eruption.
