Why are my two-year-old baby's teeth yellow?

Many parents will find that their baby is only two years old and they don’t know what the problem is, so naturally they can’t take effective solutions. Therefore, in the face of this doubt, we should now analyze and introduce to you in detail what the problem is when a two-year-old baby’s teeth turn yellow. In this way, after we find the cause, we can treat it more rationally.

There are generally two reasons why baby teeth turn yellow: one is that the tooth surface is stained by foreign substances, which is called tooth discoloration; the other is that the inside of the tooth is discolored by certain substances, which is called tooth discoloration. The former is the color change on the tooth surface, and the latter is the color change of the entire tooth body formed inside the tooth. Usually, tooth discoloration is mostly due to poor oral hygiene or bad habits.

For example: food residues adhere to the surface of teeth, not cleaned in time, taking certain pigmented drugs, food or drinks, etc., as long as you pay attention to cleaning the mouth and brush your teeth carefully, you can prevent it. The yellow teeth formed by tooth discoloration are difficult to remove. The most common tooth discoloration are tetracycline teeth and fluorosis (fluorosis or yellow teeth). Tetracycline teeth are permanent, but tetracycline is no longer used now. Fluorosis is caused by excessive intake of fluoride, which can damage the tooth germs in the developing period, causing fluorosis and discoloration, but the fluoride in the mother's body is not easy to enter the baby's body with breast milk, so fluorosis is relatively rare in the deciduous teeth period.

If you have not used tetracycline during pregnancy and breastfeeding, then your child's yellow teeth are likely to be stained teeth. You can help him brush his teeth, eat less sweets and avoid drinking stained beverages, and develop good habits such as rinsing his mouth in time after meals to gradually remove the baby's tooth stains.

The above is some introduction to the yellowing of teeth in two-year-old babies. I hope that after reading these introductions, everyone can pay special attention to the phenomenon of yellowing teeth. After all, it will have a certain impact on their dental health. Sometimes, if there is a lack of certain nutrients, it will also cause certain harm to health.
