What causes black spots on children's teeth?

Many parents have discovered a common problem: black spots have grown on their children’s teeth, and in serious areas there are holes, which cause pain when eating. Experts say that tooth decay, pigmentation, and poor calcification can all cause the appearance of dark spots. In this case, the first thing to do is to change bad eating habits, not eat too much sweets, especially not eat snacks before going to bed at night.

1. Tooth decay. The most common reason for black spots on children's teeth is tooth decay. Children like to eat sweets, drink beverages, etc., but the level of cleanliness of brushing and rinsing mouth is still not high enough, which makes it easy for food and bacteria to adsorb on the surface of teeth, and tooth decay will form over time, especially tooth decay on the inner teeth is more difficult to be found. In this case, parents should take their children to the hospital immediately to remove the decay and fill the repair objects as soon as possible to restore the teeth to health.

2. Pigmentation. The black spots on children's teeth may be caused by tooth pigmentation. There are many reasons for pigmentation. In this case, parents can take their children to the hospital for treatment through teeth cleaning and other methods. In the future, children should be taught to rinse their mouths after meals, eat less food that is bad for teeth, and pay attention to cleaning when brushing their teeth. Don't be careless.

3. Poor calcification. The reason for black spots on children's teeth may be poor tooth calcification and incomplete development of tooth enamel. In this case, early treatment is necessary and should not be delayed, especially for permanent teeth that have been replaced. Proper compensatory measures must be taken, otherwise it will affect the child's teeth in the future. Poor tooth calcification can easily lead to tooth decay, etc.

Everyone likes to smile with teeth showing. If a child has black spots on his teeth, it will not only affect the health of his teeth, but also bring a certain psychological burden to the child. Therefore, if you find black spots on your child's teeth, don't think it is an insignificant matter, especially for the permanent teeth that have been replaced. You should pay more attention to it and take your child to the hospital immediately for examination and symptomatic treatment. In daily life, you should pay more attention to the condition of your child's teeth, eat more foods that are good for teeth, and also make sure your child develop the good habit of brushing his teeth at least twice a day.
