What should I do if my baby’s tooth enamel is not fully developed?

It is common to see some children whose teeth turn black as soon as their baby teeth grow in. Parents are often very anxious at this time, fearing that their children’s teeth will not develop well and that they will often have dental problems when they grow up. In fact, this is caused by the incomplete development of the child's tooth enamel. If parents can guide their children to eat more foods that are good for teeth and pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene, this situation can be alleviated.

symptom:

Children's incomplete enamel development leads to black front teeth, which is mainly due to the poor calcification of children's teeth and uneven tooth surface. The teeth will initially show white spots on the teeth, which will gradually develop into enamel loss, black front teeth, etc.

what to do:

1. First of all, you need to supplement calcium. In addition to taking calcium supplements, the main methods of supplementing calcium are food supplements, such as milk, eggs, soy products, hard nuts (such as peanut kernels, walnut kernels), seafood such as dried shrimps, dried shrimps, kelp, seaweed, fish floss and meat floss made from thorny bones, and vegetables such as day lily, radish, shiitake mushrooms, and fungus. The calcium content is relatively high. When eating sweet things, you can choose xylitol instead of sucrose. Xylitol has a certain effect in protecting teeth. Pay attention to adjusting the acidity and alkalinity of your diet. Don’t eat too sour food and eat less sour food.

2. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Children's toothbrushes must be soft, and the handle must fit the baby's palm for easy grasping. The size of the brush head must also be suitable for the child's mouth, so that it is small and flexible and can brush the area more thoroughly. At the same time, it is best to use toothpaste specially made for babies. Don't let your baby use adult toothpaste, as adult toothpaste can easily damage the oral mucosa. If you use fluoride toothpaste, a soybean-sized amount is enough, and be careful not to swallow it accidentally.

Because children are still young and do not know how to protect their teeth, whether their teeth are healthy depends entirely on the care of their parents. This situation can be reduced if children can properly supplement with foods high in calcium and get more sun exposure so that they can fully absorb calcium. Avoid letting children eat before going to bed at night. Be sure to brush their teeth after eating, which can also protect their teeth well.
