Will There Be Delay In Getting First Tooth After Bilateral Cleft Palate Operation?
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.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
As per your complain delayed in eruption in bilateral cleft palate patient can be due to delayed milestones due to any syndromes while can be due to less space in the jaw due to cleft palate.. Hypoplastic or poorly formed palatine bone can also be a cause.
It can also be due to a rare developmental condition known as Anodontia..
For ruling out the exact cause, you should consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like a Panoromic x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
