Why do children's teeth turn yellow?

Nowadays, many young children have yellow teeth. In real life, seven out of ten children have yellow teeth. Why do young children's teeth turn yellow? The main reason is that young children love to eat candy, and parents do not pay attention to their children's oral hygiene and do not train their children to brush their teeth. Therefore, it is easy for children's teeth to turn yellow.

Nowadays, it is very common for children to have yellow teeth and cavities. Parents should pay attention to this problem and should not allow their children's teeth to deteriorate, because decayed teeth may cause other diseases. Yellow teeth and cavities often have a lot of bacteria remaining on the teeth. The bacteria in the mouth can enter the child's body and make the child sick. Therefore, it is very important to have healthy teeth. For decayed teeth, parents should take their children for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

Dentists say that children's deciduous teeth are in a state of growth and development after they erupt. The tooth enamel is not fully developed, and the tooth surface is relatively rough and not smooth enough. Food debris and dental plaque are more likely to accumulate on the tooth surface and in the gaps between teeth. Over time, this forms dental plaque, which makes the teeth turn yellow and black.

Secondly, yellowing and blackening of teeth is also related to children’s eating habits. With the enrichment of material life, children's diet is becoming more and more refined. High-sugar foods such as cakes, candies, chocolates and pigmented beverages such as cola and soda have become children's daily must-have snacks. Some parents even feed their children imported milk powder with high sugar content without paying attention. They don't know that these high-sugar foods are also sticky and are more likely to remain on the surface of children's teeth, ferment and produce acid, corrode teeth, and accumulate dental plaque and pigments on the tooth surface, eventually resulting in the bitter result of yellow and black teeth.

Generally speaking, young children should not eat too much sweets before they are one year old. Young children begin to grow baby teeth at around eight months old. During the process of growing baby teeth, parents should not give their children foods that are high in sugar, because the children are still young and do not know how to brush their teeth, which can easily cause their teeth to turn yellow. Through the above introduction, we all know the reasons why young children's teeth turn yellow. As long as we stay away from candies and other desserts, we can effectively prevent teeth from turning yellow.
