Dentition Problems: Causes, Symptoms & Homeopathic Treatment

Dentition problems refer to difficulties during the eruption of teeth, especially in infants and young children. Delayed, painful, or abnormal teething can lead to various health issues like irritability, diarrhea, fever, and gum swelling.
Common Dentition Issues:
1. Delayed Teething – Teeth erupt later than usual, often due to nutritional deficiencies or hereditary factors.
2. Painful Teething – Swollen gums, excessive drooling, and irritability during tooth eruption.
3. Diarrhea & Fever – Some infants experience mild fever, loose stools, and restlessness.
4. Malocclusion (Misaligned Teeth) – Improper alignment of teeth, affecting bite and speech.
5. Weak or Decayed Teeth – Soft enamel leading to cavities, often due to poor nutrition.
