Why do children have yellow teeth?

With the development of society, children's snacks are becoming more and more diverse. We have all kinds of styles. Therefore, children will have more choices in choosing snacks. And we also know that if children eat too many snacks, it may have a bad effect on their teeth. Especially sweets. Once the tooth decay. Children's teeth will also turn yellow. When faced with children's yellow teeth. Many parents are still particularly worried. Afraid that the child is unhealthy. So, what is the reason for children's yellow teeth? Don't worry, the editor will introduce it to you!

There are three reasons why children's teeth turn yellow:

Dietary factors also play an important role in the formation of dental caries. Our food contains a large amount of carbohydrates and sugars, which not only provide energy for the life and activity of bacteria in the plaque, but also produce organic acids through glycolysis through bacterial metabolism. The acids remain on the tooth surface and in the pits and fissures for a long time, causing demineralization and destruction of the enamel. Subsequently, some bacteria dissolve the protein to form cavities. There are many caries-causing sugars, the most important of which is sucrose. Nowadays, the food that children eat is fine, sweet and soft. On the one hand, these foods cannot provide good friction and self-cleaning effects during chewing. On the other hand, they are particularly easy to stick to the teeth and become "oral bacteria culture medium". Therefore, it is very important for children's physical health and oral health to have a balanced diet and not to give them only fine, sweet and soft food. On the contrary, if a child's diet is adequate in mineral salts, essential vitamins and trace elements, his teeth will be more resistant to caries.

Factors of the oral cavity itself, such as the shape and position of the teeth, are very important. Many children have crooked teeth, which makes them prone to tooth decay. If the caries in deciduous teeth are not treated in time, it will cause trouble for orthodontic treatment in the future. This is a pair of "bad partners" that influence each other and should never be ignored. In addition, the pits and fissures on the biting surfaces of teeth are defects left over from the development process. Bacteria and food debris are easily trapped in deep pits and fissures, and they are not easy to remove, which can easily induce tooth decay. Therefore, we recommend that children receive pit and fissure sealing at the appropriate age. Teeth with insufficient mineralization, especially insufficient calcification, have low caries resistance, and teeth with an appropriate amount of fluoride are less likely to develop caries. Therefore, as children grow up, learn to brush their teeth and do not accidentally swallow mouthwash, you can gradually let them try fluoride toothpaste. In addition, sufficient and diluted saliva can help the mouth clean itself. On the contrary, if the saliva is small and viscous, the cleaning effect will be poor, and it will be easier for plaque to form and adhere to the surface of the teeth. So drinking more boiled water also has some benefits.

Finally, it is easy for everyone to understand the bacterial factor. In the occurrence and development of caries, the role of bacteria cannot be ignored. Many oral bacteria mix with mucin and food debris in saliva and adhere firmly to the tooth surface and pits and fissures. This sticky buildup is called dental plaque or plaque. The large number of bacteria in the plaque produce acid, causing the enamel surface under the plaque to decalcify and dissolve, eventually leading to caries. Clinical investigations have shown that children with more plaque in their mouths tend to have more dental caries. It is worth noting that these oral bacteria not only harm teeth, but some studies now suggest that they may enter the digestive tract and blood through the mouth, causing adverse effects on overall health, so they cannot be ignored.

"What's the matter with children's yellow teeth?" This is all I have to introduce to you. I think you should understand. Here, I would also like to remind mothers. Because children have weaker constitutions. So, be sure to pay attention to their diet. Don't take your kids out for fast food too often. This would be especially bad for the children. Parents should pay special attention to their children's abnormal tooth discoloration. Because these may cause adverse diseases. Finally, I wish you and your children good health!
