While most infants get their first teeth months after birth, some babies are born with one or more teeth. These are called natal teeth. Natal teeth are relatively rare, occurring in about 1 out of every 2,000 births. It can be a shock if your baby is born with teeth. But you donât need to worry or take action unless the teeth interfere with feeding, or are a choking hazard.
Some research suggests that biotin (part of the B complex vitamins) may improve brittle nails and thinning hair. Many experts recommend a biotin supplement for hair health because itâs water-soluble (meaning your body excretes what it doesnât need) and doesnât have any side effects.
Specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies like iron or vitamin B12 may be diagnosed by blood tests and treated. Multiple vitamins, including biotin, have been promoted for hair growth, but solid scientific studies for many of these claims are lacking. While taking biotin and other supplements marketed for hair, skin, and nails probably won't worsen anything, it may also not necessarily help the situation. Therefore, advertised hair-regrowth supplements should be approached with mild caution.
