How to remove black spots on children's teeth

Many children do not like to brush their teeth, and do not take care of their teeth. This kind of situation is very harmful to the teeth, so most children are prone to black spots on their teeth. There are many reasons for black spots on teeth. If you want to remove black spots on children’s teeth, you must know the method. If not treated, it can easily cause other serious consequences. So how should you remove black spots on children’s teeth?

1. Reasons

Generally speaking, the black spots on infants and young children's teeth are mostly due to incomplete development of enamel. Calcium is the main substance that makes up tooth enamel. Children's calcium deficiency makes their tooth enamel rough and uneven, making it easy for food debris to remain. Lactobacillus in the mouth attach to the surface of the enamel to form plaque. The bacteria in the plaque continuously decompose food and produce a large amount of organic acid, which corrodes teeth with underdeveloped enamel. The color of the teeth gradually changes from white to brown, black, and even falls off.

2. Calcium Supplementation

Therefore, timely calcium supplementation for children can effectively prevent the occurrence of tooth decay. In addition to taking calcium supplements, calcium supplements mainly come from food. Milk, eggs, soy products, nuts (such as peanut kernels, walnut kernels), seafood such as dried shrimp, kelp, and seaweed, fish floss and meat floss made from thorny bones, and vegetables such as day lily, radish, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus are all high in calcium.

3. Prevention

If you want to prevent your teeth from turning black, a balanced diet is the most important thing. Try to eat less high-sugar and pigmented drinks and foods. Especially before going to bed, you should control your child's eating to prevent food remaining in the gaps between teeth from fermenting and producing acid, which will corrode the teeth and make them turn yellow and black. It is also important to cultivate good oral hygiene habits in children, and teach them to brush their teeth in the morning and evening and rinse their mouths after meals. When a child's first deciduous tooth erupts, oral care is needed to effectively prevent the formation of tartar and plaque. When children's teeth turn black, they need to be removed in time.
