Why do children’s teeth turn black?

Oral hygiene is a big problem for children. Children like to eat snacks and it is difficult for them to brush their teeth regularly and correctly, so it is easy for their teeth to become black due to tooth decay. A child's black teeth not only affect his smile and appearance, but also harm his physical and mental health. Because of the black teeth, his friends may stay away from him. Gradually develop an inferiority complex. Then parents need to understand the relevant knowledge about black teeth in order to treat it.

There are two main reasons why teeth turn black: one is simple pigmentation, which is caused by the rough surface of the teeth, uneven teeth, and difficulty in cleaning, resulting in food residues adhering to the teeth; it may also be related to the child's physique, such as concentrated saliva components, slow flow rate, and small saliva volume, which leads to easy pigmentation;

Second, tooth decay is accompanied by pigmentation. When tooth decay occurs, pigmentation will occur faster and more seriously. Tooth decay and pigmentation can influence and promote each other. "This problem can actually be completely solved, but the key is to seek medical attention as soon as possible and not delay." Once a child's teeth have problems that parents cannot solve, such as pigmentation or caries that cannot be brushed off with a toothbrush, parents should first find a specialist to identify the cause and then provide appropriate treatment.

Experts say that in order for children to have beautiful white teeth, it is necessary to go to the dentist for a follow-up every 3-6 months after birth. In addition, as soon as the baby is born, the gums should be gently wiped with gauze or latex fingertips; start brushing teeth immediately after teeth come out; after the age of 2, you must use a bristled toothbrush and use a swallowable cleaning toothpaste; remember to clean the gums and tongue while brushing your teeth. Avoid bad eating habits and eat less sweet, sticky and colored foods. Eating more foods rich in crude fiber can not only exercise children's chewing ability, but also clean teeth and promote healthy tooth growth.
