My son is 15 months old. He has not got his first tooth yet. He was born with Bilateral cleft palate and was operated for the same during his 11 month. When can I expect his first tooth. Will there be delay in getting first tooth for Bilateral Cleft palate patients.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor ... I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint delayed in eruption in bilateral cleft palate patient can be due to delayed milestones due to any syn Chat Doctor. . Hypoplastic or poorly formed palatine bone can also be a cause. It can also be due to a rare developmental condition known as Antonia. For ruling out the exact cause, you should consult a Periodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like a Panoramic x-ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
