What is the cause of yellow spots on children’s teeth?

If people's teeth turn yellow, they will feel very distressed because it will be difficult to talk to others. However, since people are very tired during their daily work, they often ignore the importance of yellow teeth. So what exactly causes yellow teeth? How does a yellow spot on the teeth occur? Next, let’s listen to the editor’s detailed introduction!

Teeth are pale white in color: This type of teeth is caused by insufficient calcium during pregnancy or serious infectious and chronic diseases in infants and young children.

The color of the teeth is gray-black: This type of teeth is often caused by tooth injuries, such as impact, traumatic bite, etc., which lead to pulp necrosis. Pulp treatment must be performed as soon as possible, and repaired after bleaching if necessary.

Black tooth color: Black tooth roots are caused by the accumulation of dental plaque, also known as tartar. People who smoke and drink tea also have black deposits from tobacco and tea on their teeth. These black substances as well as plaque and tartar should be removed regularly, and teeth should be cleaned at least once a year to avoid irritating the teeth and causing inflammation and bleeding, or causing caries. If there is caries, it should be repaired in time.

Grayish yellow tooth color: Due to the widespread use of drugs such as tetracycline and oxytetracycline in the past 20 years, if taken for a long time at one time in early childhood, the permanent teeth will turn grayish yellow. This type of tooth is commonly known as tetracycline tooth. For mild cases, they can be bleached with hydrogen peroxide and polished. For severe cases, they can be improved by grinding, bleaching and then grinding. For severe discolored teeth that are still not cured by polishing and bleaching, the tooth surface can be repaired or light-cured cosmetic restoration can be performed.

Here we would like to remind people that they must be cautious when using tetracycline drugs continuously, and not take more than one dose, and not more than one week at a time, so as not to damage the teeth. Especially for children with kidney disease, tetracycline drugs are not well excreted and are more likely to accumulate in the body, causing gray-yellow teeth.

Because of some reasons, teeth turn yellow, so the editor reminds you to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and then receive timely treatment according to your condition. Because yellow teeth seriously affect people's normal life, you must pay attention to it in normal times. You also need to pay more attention to your diet and eat some light food and less spicy and irritating food.
