Why do children have black teeth?

Children's teeth are relatively fragile. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to cause black spots on the teeth. If a child's teeth become black, it will affect the child's appearance and it is easy to cause oral diseases. Black teeth in children are the most common and are also the thing that parents worry about the most. So let's take a look at the foods that cause children's teeth to turn black.

Be careful with "cheating" food

1.

Foods with high sugar content, such as candy, cakes, and especially imported milk powder. These high-sugar foods are highly sticky and easily adhere to the surface and gaps of teeth, ferment and produce acid, and eventually corrode the tooth enamel. Dental plaque is more likely to accumulate on the surface of teeth where the enamel is damaged, causing the teeth to turn yellow and black and forming cavities.

2.

Foods or drinks with pigments, such as strong tea, soy sauce, chocolate, fruit juice drinks, etc. The pigments in this type of food remain on the surface of the teeth, and over time, cause exogenous pigment deposition. These pigment deposits even penetrate deep into the teeth, making the teeth darker and blacker.

3. Carbonated drinks. Nowadays, many children like to drink carbonated drinks such as cola. These drinks contain sweeteners, sugar, carbon dioxide, etc., which are acidic. Long-term drinking can easily corrode teeth and make the tooth surface rough. Bacteria and pigments in the drinks are deposited on the tooth surface, making the teeth yellow and black, and even leading to tooth decay in severe cases.

Pay attention to diet and oral hygiene care

Nowadays, the problem of young children's teeth turning yellow and black is getting more and more serious. Some children's deciduous teeth turn yellow and black shortly after they erupt. In view of this, oral experts say that parents should not only pay attention to their children's diet and reduce the intake of foods that can easily cause teeth to turn yellow and black, but also strengthen their children's oral cleaning care to reduce pigmentation, taking a two-pronged approach to protect their children's teeth.

Children's black teeth are usually caused by eating some junk food, so as long as you avoid some junk food with pigments, you can prevent the black teeth phenomenon. Children's oral hygiene must be started from an early age, so that the teeth can be kept in a healthy state. It is recommended that children rinse their mouths before and after meals to avoid bacterial infections.
