What to do if your baby's teeth turn yellow

The development of teeth is a rough indicator of skeletal maturity. The speed and timing of the eruption of baby's deciduous teeth can also reflect the baby's growth, development and nutrition. Some people say that teeth are a sign of children's health, and there is some truth to this. However, the early or late eruption of deciduous teeth is related to the baby's physique, nutrition, gender, region and other factors, and there are large individual differences. So, what should you do if your baby's teeth are yellow? Find out through the following article.

There are generally two situations when babies' teeth turn yellow: one is that the surface of the teeth is stained by foreign substances, which is called tooth staining; the other is the discoloration of the inside of the teeth caused by certain substances, which is called tooth discoloration. The former is the color change that occurs on the surface of the tooth, and the latter is the color change of the entire tooth body formed inside the tooth.

Usually, yellowing of teeth is 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 medicines, foods or drinks, etc. As long as you pay attention to cleaning your mouth and brush your teeth carefully, you can prevent it. Yellowing of teeth caused by tooth discoloration is difficult to remove.

The most common tooth discolorations are tetracycline and dental fluorosis (dental fluorosis or yellowing). Tetracycline teeth are permanent, but tetracycline is no longer used now. Fluoride on teeth is caused by excessive intake of fluoride, which can damage the developing tooth germs and cause fluorosis and discoloration. However, fluoride in the mother's body is not easy to enter the baby's body with breast milk, so fluorosis on teeth is relatively rare during the deciduous teeth period.

What should I do if my baby’s teeth are yellow? After reading the above article, I believe you have a certain understanding. Pay attention to providing your baby with comprehensive nutrition and improving your baby's immunity. In addition to formula milk, you can also try giving your baby colostrum, such as Life Sunshine Colostrum, which can promote growth and development and improve IQ. I wish the baby good health.
