Together with the chalky complexion goes,
Fatness with fitness,

Bones without strength, Tissues of plus quantity and minus quality,
More flabby bulk,
With weakness and weariness.

Dental tonics can be safely started by the fifth month and continued till the time the teething process is completed. That is by the age of about two years. But please do so under your homoeopath's guidance.
