What is the reason for yellow teeth in babies?

What is the reason for the baby's teeth to be too yellow? Many mothers are very worried and concerned about this symptom of their children. They are worried that the child has a disease and is concerned that the child will be deficient in calcium or zinc after growing teeth. If this is the case, if you don't know the reason, you can't give the child timely supplements. The child's yellow teeth may also be caused by food. So what is the reason for the baby's yellow teeth?

1. Health factors: Poor nutrition or illness during the development of teeth will affect the calcification of teeth, making the teeth not only yellow but also loose.

2. Water quality factors: In some areas, especially in some mountainous areas, because the fluoride content in the water is high, drinking too much of this water will cause yellow teeth. And it is not just one or two teeth that turn yellow, but a whole mouth of yellow teeth. Because fluoride has an anti-caries effect, these people are less likely to develop caries (cavities).

3. Drug factors: It is well known that tetracycline drugs can cause yellow teeth, especially for children under 5 years old.

4. Hygiene habits: Some people do not have the habit of brushing their teeth and do not pay attention to oral hygiene. Food residues, soft plaque, tartar, smoke stains, tea stains, etc. accumulate on the surface of the teeth. Their big "yellow teeth" are not because the teeth themselves are yellow, but because they do not pay attention to oral hygiene.

Treatment for yellow teeth: In addition to paying attention to hygiene habits and brushing your teeth correctly and on time, you need to go to the hospital to whiten your teeth. There are currently several tooth bleaching agents with good effects, but most of them require very high costs; light curing treatment, covering the tooth surface with a layer of resin similar to the color of the teeth, and then using a special light to complete the tooth bleaching.

If the baby's teeth are yellow, then we cannot rule out the possibility that these reasons are the cause of the yellow teeth. The yellow teeth of the baby must be treated and improved accordingly according to the reasons. In short, children should not be allowed to eat too much soup, or drink tea or coffee, etc. This will easily make the children's teeth become yellow. If the child's teeth are too yellow, you should check whether they have cavities.
