Re: Keri/was: Very late and odd painful teething...OT

[Guest guest]

Hi Keri:

Getting teeth late can be a sign of thyroid problems. Google " hypothyroidism

children " and maybe, symptoms. If he has any other symptoms of a poorly

functioning thyroid, I would have your ped/dr/yourself check his Free T3 and

free T4 levels.

Good luck,

[ ] Very late and odd painful teething...OT

I have 2 kids, both on the spectrum and undergoing bio-med treatment

(s). My question is about my 19mo son. He has his top and bottom 4

teeth (not all) the way down...but through the gums. He has now

skipped to trying to get his molars. One side there is just a point

sticking out (top) the other side is trying but he just gets a big

covering of gum over it and it has yet to pop through. Now on the

bottom he is trying to push one through but it is just a big red

painful hole. It looks like there may be a tooth in there but even

though he only has a few teeth sticking your fingers in his mouth

for too long is dangerous ;-0

I have asked dentists they said as long as he has his front ones.

I asked out ped. and he said the typical " late bloomer "

I asked our Naturopath and he said it is due to his delayed

development.

My daughter was nothing like this.

Is there anything I can do? Anything the I can do to help speed

this along? Anything I should get right to a specialist...but who?

Any advice or stories are apprieciated. Emails welcome.

Keri
